Description
We proudly present this stunning Jaguar E-Type series 2 Roadster, finished in Daimler Silver Grey Metallic paintwork with contrasting Red Leather interior trim and a matching red roof.
Having sold this car previously to a client in 2021, its a car we know well, prior to this the car was owned by a big collector with over 50 exclusive cars in his collection who owned this car from July 2015 to May 2021.
This matching numbers E-type was originally supplied by Jaguar cars New York to its first owner Rosemary Rucchio on 23rd August 1968. The car returned to the UK in October 2014 and underwent a exacting restoration by the previous owner, a highly regarded and experienced bodywork specialist. The body was stripped back to the tub all the original factory panel work was retained and it was decided to convert the car to Right hand drive, a comparatively easy exercise at this stage. The fully rebuilt engine was mated to triple SU carburettors making it a UK spec car.
The car was painted in its original colour which in our opinion is one of the best colours for an E-type, Daimler Silver Grey. The interior and hood are the only deviation from the original black but combine to give a very special presence and a ‘nod' to a contemporary look. All the other components have either been replaced or rebuilt. The brightwork has all been re-chromed. It comes complete with the E-type jack , tools and a hide hammer, UK registration, the Heritage Certificate and handbook is enclosed in the history file.
Fitted with a Thatcham Cat 2 immobiliser.
Service last carried out 11th March 2025 at 23111 Miles, the car was also MOT'D for 12 months at the same time.
This lovely example has to be seen to be truly appreciated.
