Description

This classic car is for sale on Catawiki. To have more information or to place a bid click on the "BID NOW" button. .This E-type coupé was available in two versions. The fixed head coupe (FHC) and the 2+2. The latter was recognisable from its rear seat, the more upright positioned windscreen and the fact that it was longer. The series 1 1/2 was an intermediate series between series 1 and series 2. All series 1 1/2 vehicles are equipped with the 4.2 6-cylinder engine with double overhead camshafts. An engine known for running calmly and for the smooth release of its power. The series 1 1/2 FHC was built from August 1967. In total, 1,231 units of the LHD series 1 1/2 FHC were built. The Fixed Head Coupe is suitable for two persons. Tall people can also sit comfortably. A true classic that was way ahead of its time, and it can also keep up well in today’s traffic.

This Jaguar is one of the last units from the series 1 1/2 Fixed Head Coupe with VIN 1E35805. The very last unit from the FHC series 1 1/2 had VIN 1E35814 and was built in July 1986. The car has matching numbers and comes in the special colour PRIMROSE YELLOW. Equipped with air conditioning and wire wheels. The car comes from America, it is registered in the Netherlands and technically approved by the Dutch vehicle authority (the RDW). The car is also fitted with a wooden steering wheel with aluminium spokes. And the car is equipped with a new clutch.

These E-types are becoming rarer and the series 1.5 rarely seen. The 4.2 litre 6-cylinder inline engine runs neatly. The carburettors could use a cleaning and a subsequent tuning. The interior of the car is neat and complete.

In short, a car to tour with after a simple maintenance. An additional advantage of this version is the rear door that opens to the side. This makes it very easy to put the golf set in the back.

A nice classic look, very special because of its year of manufacture and because of this particular colour.

The car can be viewed and picked up in Hasselt, the Netherlands. We can arrange transport and export documents for you.
