1966 Jaguar E Type Series 1 Coupe restored to Show standard For Sale
Autocar road tested a UK spec E-Type 4. 2 fixed head coupé in May 1965. The maximum speed was 153 mph (246 km/ h), the 0–60 mph (0–97 km/ h) time was 7. 6 seconds and the 1?4 mile (402 m) from a standing start took 15. 1 seconds. They summarised it as "In its 4. 2 guise the E-Type is a fast car (the fastest we have ever tested) and offers just about the easiest way to travel quickly by road."
Motor magazine road tested a UK spec E-Type 4. 2 fixed head coupé in Oct 1964. The maximum speed was 150 mph (241 km/ h), the 0-60 mph (97 km/ h) time was 7 seconds and the 1?4 mile (402 m) time was 14. 9 seconds. They summarised it as "The new 4. 2 supersedes the early 3. 8 as the fastest car Motor has tested. The absurd ease which 100 mph (161 km/ h) can be exceeded in a 1?4 mile (402 m) never failed to astonish. 3, 000 miles (4, 828 km) of testing confirms that this is still one of the world’s outstanding cars
First registered and supplied through Byatts of Fenton, Stoke on Trent as HEH731D on the 10th May 1966, records show that the Coupe had spent it’s life in the Midlands prior to being purchased by David Thompson in February 1980 with a recorded mileage of some 68474 miles by July 1980. Over the ensuing years between 1986 and 1991, David Thompson assisted by Jaguar employee (we believe) managed the complete and full restoration outsourcing work to leading Jaguar specialists. The E Type returned to the road in May 1991 ready to take part in the 30th Anniversary Jaguar E Type celebrations in June 1991, at which point the recorded mileage was only 69905 miles. In the following years the E Type won “best of class” in Jaguar Drivers Club events, and when valued by the JDC it was described as being in ‘Show Condition’ After the ground up restoration the E Type stayed with David Thompson until sold to a classic car enthusiast in Jersey in November 1996. Since 2008 some £8500 + has been spent on regular servicing and maintenance, together with replacing rubber seals as required. It is still in excellent condition after being restored some thirty years and 11, 000 miles ago. The following work was carried in the period 1987 to 1991, and is documented in the history file
1987 Body shell completely rebuilt by GB Panels of Caldecote, Nuneaton £28065
1987 Full engine restoration Ron Beaty Engineering Coventry / Forward Engineering £ 1548
1988/ 1991 Olaf P Lund £1052 / Martin Robey Ltd £1285– All parts for restoration £ 2337
Sundry bills for Carman Red paint and body materials
Following a long term and complete restoration in the early 1990’s and regularly maintained ever since, the E Type presents extremely well in Carmen Red with a black leather, red piped interior. The mileage since restoration at just over 11000 miles is equivalent to a few hundred miles a year, although in more recent years, it has been used more, and serviced annually to suit.
The engine is of particular note having been personally rebuilt by ex-Jaguar Works tuning guru Ron Beaty, the cylinder head refurbishment was carried out by his company Forward Engineering. As the photographs will confirm it was restored to a very high standard which has more very successfully stood the test of time
The interior is in excellent overall condition in gleaming Carmen Red, with shining chrome complimented by chrome wire wheels. The interior is finished in black hide, with red piping to the seats and is again in excellent cared for condition.
Regularly maintained over the years, with a full history file confirming the work carried out by our Jaguar trained technicians, services invoices detail work carried out since the car was restored to date. It is ready to be used and enjoyed once more.
