Dating from June 25th, 1964 this is Number 1,738 of the 1,799 right-hand drive, Series 1 E-Types produced by Jaguar. The original supplying dealer was Murkett Bros. of Bedford and the first lucky owner was a Mr J.G. Marriott. It was exported to Guernsey in the early seventies before being sold and subsequently re-imported by Lionel Jeanneau to a new home at the prestigious Waterside Inn in Bray, Berkshire. The car changed hands again March 1993 with 26,000 miles showing and subsequently was subject to a continued program of upgrading, improvement and refurbishment. In 1997, it was treated to a bare metal repaint with the original Opalescent Golden Sand giving way to Jaguar Signal Red. Some fifteen years later, in 2012, it was treated to a fresh coat of Signal Red by Classic Chassis Services who also carried out a total rebuild of the engine, chassis and all major components. The work even extended to replacing the wiring loom and re-trimming the interior. The history file contains an account of the work done by Jaguar specialists Ladd and Glen of Streatham, London including Coopercraft brakes front and rear with discs, adjustable dampers all round, the dynamo and electrics were upgraded to run an alternator and a Kenlowe Fan was fitted to aid reliability. New chrome wire wheels complete with Dunlop Aquajets were fitted and performance was further enhanced by a stainless steel exhaust manifold. The history file also contains the original buff logbook, the owner’s manual and thirteen old MOTs.

This lovely, Series-1 now requires a new owner with whom to enjoy the next chapter of its life. This is a great usable E-Type, realistically guided and guaranteed to attract admiring glances wherever it goes.
