1965 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 4.2 Coupé

If one shape defines the Golden Age it is the Series 1 fixed-head, and the 4.2 is the one to have: same purity of line, better gearbox, better brakes, more torque. This matching-numbers coupé was restored to exceptional standard in its factory colour scheme of Opalescent Silver Blue over dark blue leather.

The restoration presents with the depth of finish only a bare-metal, glass-out job achieves, and the car drives with the tautness of a new one. Toolkit, jack and a substantial history file accompany.
