1966 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 FHC LHD Series 1

ColourBlue

Odometer53,995 Miles

Engine size 4235cc

Transmission Manual, 4 speed

Steering position Left Hand Drive

Seller Type Private

Location: Braunton, County Devon, Country United Kingdom

Beautifully presented factory-correct Opalescent Blue with tan leather 

Described as ‘98% original’ by seller and free from filler 

Matching numbers car in original colour scheme 

Florida car previously displayed for many years in Jaguar showroom 

Recent £2,800 recommissioning by specialist including service 

Fitted with E10-ready fuel system, fresh fluids, filters and brakes

Previous car show award winner in the USA

The car arrived in the UK in 2016, and we’re told it was specifically sought out by the vendor for his father-in-law, a gentleman in his 90s who had always dreamed of owning an E-Type. That dream was duly fulfilled, and the car remained in his care until his passing.

In May 2026, the car was sent to specialist Custom Build Classics for checks and recommissioning. That £2,800 refresh included new chromework, full service, new E10-compatible fuel hoses, fresh fluids, filters and brakes. Its Florida life has clearly served the bodywork well. For those seeking a Series 1 E-Type with genuine integrity and a wonderful story behind it, this one merits close attention.

History and Paperwork

First registered in 1966

VIN number 1E31875 indicates a late 1965 factory build 

JDHT certificate confirms current colour scheme is factory correct 

Imported to UK for Alfred Wallace then in his 90’s Alf had been Managing Editor for DC Comics / Marvel UK in the 60’s & 70’s and had always dreamt of owning an E Type

Previously on display at Colliers Jaguar in Florida for many years

Won a car show award during subsequent US ownership

Acquired by the vendor for his late father-in-law, who owned the car until his passing

MOT exempt as a pre-1977 historic vehicle

Indicating 53,995 miles on the odometer 

The Condition

Factory-correct Opalescent Silver Blue in very good condition 

Paintwork recently polished and localised repairs undertaken 

The vendor reports 98% original panels with no filler or rust

Chrome wire wheels with matching spare wheel 

Quality Vredestein tyres fitted 

Recently replaced bumpers as detailed in photos 

Factory-correct tan leather interior in very good order 

Nicely detailed interior with wood-rimmed E-Type wheel and period radio 

Underside as shown in photos 

Whether Enzo Ferrari actually said what he’s endlessly reported to have said, there is surely no denying that this Opalescent Silver Blue E-Type is beautiful. That is, it is so well kept and in such good structural order, which definitely aids that impression. 

Inside the tan leather cabin is pleasingly unmodified with some neat touches like the E-Type wood-rimmed wheel and period radio. The sympathetic recent recommissioning included some new chromework and a paint polish. 

The Mechanics

4,235cc XK inline-six petrol engine

4spd fully synchromesh manual transmission

Full service and recommissioning recently completed

£2,800 spent in May 2026 with Custom Build Classics 

All new E10-compatible fuel hoses fitted

Fresh fluids and filters throughout

Brakes renewed

Matching numbers car 

The vendor reports the car is ready to drive

The vendor tells us that this car is 98% original, with the matching numbers available for buyers to verify via the supplied JDHT certificate. These later cars, as we’ve mentioned, are notable for the much-improved 4spd manual gearbox, with synchro-mesh on all ratios. 

In May 2026, just before coming for sale, this car was sent to specialist Custom Build Classics for a check over and recommissioning. £2,800 of work was undertaken, detailed in photos, including a full service, new E10-compliant hoses and attention to the brakes. It is said to run and drive well.
