Chassis no. 1R 35462

*Manual gearbox

*Very good interior

*Significant rebuild

Odometer Reading: 39444

Sold for £ 32,062 inc.premium, (US$ 42,003)

MPH is pleased to offer this manual gearbox 1969 2+2, which began life as a left-hand drive and has been converted to right hand drive. It was bought by the vendor in 2015, since when it has not been driven. Passing its MoT in October, it offers a pleasing prospect with very straight panels and bright chrome work, amply complemented by lustrous red paint and bright wire wheels. The vendor says a significant rebuild saw the fitting of a new floor pan and a full re-paint. Raising the bonnet reveals a very tidy, clean and unmolested engine bay that could be further improved with little effort. Delightfully spacious, the black interior is very well presented: A new interior was fitted, and the seats appear unworn, the centre console and dashboard top crack- and fade-free and the wooden steering wheel is in good order too. As when it was new, the 2+2 offers a more practical route into E-type ownership and this handsome example warrants serious consideration.

This delightful Jaguar E Type Series 2 left the factory on the 5th of September 1969 destined for Charles Attwood of Wolverhampton, a journey that would have taken less than an hour.

It’s first owner was a D Edwards, who knew it as ‘YJW 550H’, ‘JW’ being a Wolverhampton number and ‘Y’ being allocated for cars registered in the final year of that decade.

A manual 2+2 Coupé, it was restored at great expense between 2015 and 2018 – there are receipts for more than £30,000 on file plus a photo of the work being carried out – and ‘AVI 6856’ is now finished in a bright red rather than the Ascot Fawn it left the factory in.

The seller, who bought it in 2019, is an engineer and therefore appreciates better than most the need to maintain it in the manner to which it had become accustomed; the bill for almost £3,000 to fit three brand-new carburettors must have stung a little but he acknowledges it’s a price worth paying to keep it running so sweetly.

Nevertheless, as with pretty much every classic car, there are a few small jobs yet to do, making this the ideal candidate for a brief autumn affair following by a few days of minor fettling over the winter before the start of next year’s show season.
