- Fitted with Jaguar 3.8 litre engine

This interesting Series 2 Coupe came off the line at Browns Lane on August 13, 1968, at which time it was finished in Primrose Yellow matched to Black interior trim. It was a lefthand drive export model that six weeks later departed the UK for Jaguar Cars New York and, according to the accompanying paperwork, remained in the USA before being repatriated in 1988. Sometime prior to that homecoming, the original Stromberg-fuelled 4.2-litre engine was replaced by the earlier 3.8-litre unit equipped with a 4.2-litre head and triple SUs that powers the car to this day. In the late 1990s `ANK 963G' was subjected to an extensive restoration, during which the body was finished in its current Dark Blue livery, the interior retrimmed in Dark Blue piped Light Blue hide and the steering converted to righthand drive. The Jaguar rides on painted wire wheels and its specification includes a Coopercraft front brake conversion kit and sunroof. It is now being sold complete with: photos of the restoration, parts catalogue, Heritage Certificate, a collection of old invoices and MOTs, plus one valid into July of next year.

29th Nov, 2025 The Brooklands Velocity; Mercedes-Benz World

1968 Jaguar E-Type Series II Fixedhead Coupé

Extensively restored in the 1990's

Estimate £37,000 - £44,000

Registration: ANK 963G

Chassis No: 1R25040

Odometer: 2,204

Subject of an extensive restoration in the 1990s

Coopercraft front brakes

This E-Type started life as an export example destined for New York; it was repatriated to the UK in 1988 and treated to a rather extensive restoration in the mid 1990s, at which time it was converted to right hand drive. The history file contains a wealth of invoices from this restoration detailing everything involved and contains many photos of the restoration. Our vendor purchased the car around four years ago, as he had always fancied an E-Type, but the car hasn’t seen as much use as he thought it might, so the time has come for someone else to enjoy it. Presented in beautiful Navy Blue with a light grey interior, the overall condition is very good, commensurate with the 30 years since the restoration took place. A further £7,000 was spent in 2011 on lots of smaller jobs such as replacement of mounts and gaskets and a general underside freshen up, fewer than 10,000 miles have been covered since. Supplied to auction with an impressive history file, restoration photos, E-Type parts catalogues and a V5C registration document, this looks like an excellent way into E-Type ownership.
