Subjected to a full rotisserie, body off restoration a few years ago and has since been owned by the enthusiastic Chairman of a major component supplier. During his ownership it been further improved from a mechanical standpoint and has proved to be utterly reliable on various long distance excursions including a recent 5000 miles tour through France, Italy, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Luxemburg and Monaco.

The various mechanical upgrades for more comfortable use on today's road have included a 5 speed manual gearbox with a top gear suitable for motorway cruising, fully adjustable power assisted steering, larger front brake callipers and adjustable Koni shock absorbers giving greatly improved road holding. Other improvements include wider lattice spoked wire wheels with 185VR rated tyres, modern stereo system with Blue Tooth connectivity, hazard warning lights, inertia reel seat belts, a tracker system, full LED lighting, electronic ignition and an alternator. This exceptional E Type is without doubt the best I have ever driven.

Originally built at the Browns Lane factory on 29 October 1965, chassis number 1E 11856 was dispatched to Jaguar Cars, New York, on 9 November. It was then sold to Charles Kovacs – who is listed on the Heritage Certificate as being the first owner – on 18 May 1966. 

The original invoice from Marquis Motors of Laguna Beach, California, is part of the car’s extensive history file, and it shows that Kovacs paid $6624 for his new E-type. He ended up keeping the Jaguar until August 1980, when it was sold to Gordon Wallace of Victoria, British Columbia. 

More recently, the car was brought back to England and treated to a full restoration at E-type UK that commenced in 2014 and which included a conversion to right-hand drive. The finished E-type was first registered here in June 2015, since when it has been maintained regardless of cost and has benefitted from a number of well-chosen upgrades.

In 2019, a five-speed gearbox conversion was carried out and makes long-distance touring a much more comfortable proposition. EZ power steering was also fitted, along with Coopercraft four-pot brake calipers, plus wider wheels, a modern stereo with Bluetooth connection, LED lighting and inertia-reel seatbelts.

In 2022, the differential was overhauled and the owner enjoyed stretched the Jaguar’s legs by touring Europe for several weeks, their route taking in France, Italy, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Monaco.

Now being offered for sale, this beautifully presented and well-sorted E-type combines the model’s timeless styling with discerning upgrades that make it an even more enjoyable and versatile example of this enduring classic.
