Finished in a deep blue over a contrasting red interior, the car presents extremely well while remaining very much a classic to be driven and enjoyed.

Before Anthony bought the car, it was off the road for around twenty years, and since purchasing in 2020, Anthony has invested in recommissioning the car, including a replacement clutch and flywheel, stainless steel exhaust, aluminium radiator, electronic ignition and upgraded Coopercraft brakes.

Anthony describes the car as mechanically faultless, with a strong engine, smooth four-speed gearbox and no unwanted knocks or rattles. It isn't presented as a concours example, but rather as an attractive and well-sorted E-Type that can be used as intended.

Finished in a rich dark blue, this E-Type presents very well overall, with its chrome detailing and wire wheels complementing the unmistakable Series 2 bodywork.

The bodywork appears to be in good condition overall. From our visit, the panels present well, with the E-Type retaining its elegant lines and distinctive proportions - the shut lines look very good across the car.

This isn't being presented as a concours example, but rather as a smart and usable classic that can be driven and enjoyed.

The car is presented in it's original colour, Dark Blue, as confirmed in the Heritage Certificate and the paintwork gives the Jaguar a particularly sophisticated appearance and shows off the curves of the body beautifully.

It presents with a strong gloss overall, with some very minor age and use-related imperfections to be expected from a classic that has been enjoyed rather than kept purely for show.

The exterior brightwork presents particularly well, including the chrome bumpers, light surrounds, windscreen frame and other detailing.

The visible glass also appears clear and in good order, while the folding hood and its associated trim are present.

The red leather seats present well overall, displaying some natural patina and signs of use in keeping with the car's age.

Matching red carpets continue through the cabin, complemented by the coordinating door cards, transmission tunnel and centre armrest.

The dashboard retains its classic arrangement of Smiths instrumentation, auxiliary gauges and distinctive bank of switches.

The instruments and controls present well, and Anthony reports that the switches and electrics are working as expected, with the exception of the dashboard clock.

The straight-six engine is reported to be mechanically excellent, pulling strongly and running smoothly with no unwanted noises. Since purchasing the car, Anthony has fitted electronic ignition, a new aluminium radiator and a stainless steel exhaust system.

Anthony (seller) tells us that with the aluminium radiator the water temperature has never exceeded normal, so no overheating issues. He also tells us the car uses very little oil.

The suspension feels firm on the road, as expected from an E-Type, but remains comfortable and composed with no unwanted knocks or rattles reported.

The braking system has been upgraded with Coopercraft brakes, providing reassuring stopping performance and complementing the car’s usable nature.
