Jaguar E Type Series 2 FHC £ 49,950

This late Series 2 Fixed Head Coupe was first registered new in the UK in January 1971 in – we believe – the Isle of Wight. We have no further history until the mid-1990s, when the last MOT certificate issued showed it having 47,638 miles recorded. It was purchased by a Jersey-based owner in October of 1995 and re-registered in the island.

In September 2004, the E-Type moved to Guernsey with a new owner, who only kept the vehicle for a year before moving it on (with 52,548 miles showing) to a second short-term owner (2 years) and then a more permanent custodian, who cared for the car until 2014. It has been in the hands of the current owner since September of that year, well maintained and with light use so that it now has just under 58,000 miles logged.

The Jaguar runs and drives very well. Most recent work includes the fitment of new front brake discs in 2021 and a full service in 2023. Currently, the cooling system would benefit from some attention as the heater is not operational.

This is a very solid car – with a good condition body, having benefitted from Ziebart undercoating treatment when new, helping to prevent any corrosion taking hold. The paintwork remains smart and very presentable, with only a few small blemishes. All brightwork is present, correct and in good condition (wire wheels have been fitted).

The interior appears original and well preserved, with the seats showing some patination. The headlining is in very good shape and the dashboard is complete and fully functioning.

This E-Type is a most original motorcar with a genuine low mileage in a very good, usable condition, having been well maintained and cared for.

The car is currently Guernsey registered with viewing by appointment. The local (Guernsey) registration number is not included in the sale.
