1967 Jaguar E-type 2+21967 Jaguar E-type 2+2

Rewarding, running project, supported by Jaguar Heritage Certificate

Estimate £15,000 - £20,000

Registration: VBY 210E

Chassis: 1E77483

Odometer: TBC

Transmission: Manual

MOT: N/A

UK registered since 1999 with just one UK owner for over 27 years

Supported by Jaguar Heritage Certificate

Dry stored since 2014 and offered as a rewarding recommissioning project

Built on 2nd May 1967 for the American left-hand-drive market, this vehicle was despatched to Jaguar Cars, New York on 24th May 1967. The accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate confirms the car was originally finished in Maroon with Black interior trim, with the certificate also confirming that the engine matches both the chassis plate and factory records.

Imported into the United Kingdom and first registered here on 1st July 1999, the Jaguar has remained with just one UK owner for over 27 years. Used regularly until 2014, it has since been dry stored, being started periodically to maintain mechanical condition, but now requires recommissioning before returning to regular road use.

Inspection underneath revealed the structure to be reassuringly solid, with only light surface corrosion visible and no significant structural rot apparent. The paintwork, however, is known to have been refinished to a modest standard at some point in its life and would benefit from stripping and repainting to realise the car's full potential. Various cosmetic imperfections are present, including scratches, scuffs and localised paint defects, all of which are reflected in the guide price. The interior has survived storage particularly well, remaining largely original in appearance and presenting as an honest, usable cabin requiring only sympathetic refurbishment rather than wholesale restoration.

Mechanically, the Jaguar starts, runs and drives, although it should be regarded as a recommissioning project after over a decade away from regular use. The sale includes the current V5C Registration Document, Jaguar Heritage Certificate and a small selection of previous MOT certificates. Whilst the history file is modest, the long-term single ownership, matching-numbers status and fundamentally solid structure provide an excellent foundation for restoration or sympathetic preservation.

Opportunities to acquire an E-Type with over a quarter of a century of continuous ownership, heritage certificate and a sound structural basis are becoming increasingly uncommon. Offered directly from a deceased estate, this represents an appealing opportunity to return one of Jaguar's most celebrated grand tourers to its former glory.
