Description:

- Retains original engine

- Gearbox rebuilt in March 2022

- Painted in stunning Aston Martin California Sage

- From a 16 year ownership

Those with a keen eye will notice this car is not wearing a Jaguar colour, it has in fact been painted in Aston Martin California Sage and it looks all the better for it. The respray was clearly carried out to a high standard but was finished a number of years ago and is now starting to show its age in a few places. The car was originally supplied to New York in Silver Grey with Light Blue interior but was first registered in the UK in 1987 and it was then converted to right hand drive. Our vendor purchased the car in 2007 and has covered just under 10,000 miles in that time. The gearbox was rebuilt in March 2022 using synchromesh internals to improve useability and the car retains its original engine, confirmed by a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Certificate. An early 3.8-litre E-Type with a synchromesh gearbox is possibly the best specification, pairing the useability of later cars with synchromesh with the un-matched style of the early cars with attractive bucket seats and toggle switch dashboard. This example is offered with a very sensible estimate and is sure to generate good interest.
