1968 JAGUAR E-TYPE SERIES 1 2+2 4.2L RHD For Sale

1968/ 9 JAGUAR E-TYPE SERIES 1 2+2 (known as a series 1. 5) RHD.

For sale is my 1968/ 9 E-TYPE 2+2 finished in Opalescent silver blue with a dark blue interior (the best colour combo). 4. 2 litre straight 6 XK engine with the more desirable toggle switches and series 1 rear lights. Log book say it’s a 1969 but enthusiast and parts supplier say it’s a 1968.

100k miles on the clock. I bought this car in 2014 from an ex-pat in Spain that had it in his garage for over 15 years, un-driven. I brought it home to the UK as a non-runner and have since got it on the road.

This car had no history when I bought it however a lot of money has been spent on it since arriving in the UK in 2014. Loads of receipts! (Around £20K - I am collecting all the receipts to tally it up)

The bad points about this car.
• Only noticeable on inspection - It has had a minor dent behind the passenger front side bumper which has indented the front corner.

• Bonnet shut lines are larger than they should be.

• Doors need attentions as they are slightly bubbling at the bottom and slightly rusting in the shutting area which is common on these cars.

With this work done it would be an exceptional car.
Mechanically this car is spot on and has had way over £20k spent on it in the last 3 years, you can get in it and enjoy it straight away and get all the attention. It just needs the cosmetic finishing off to make this car perfect.

Will send more detailed photos upon request, these were the only ones I had to hand.
