A late Series 1 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 fixed-head coupé, factory-despatched from Browns Lane on 31 March 1967 and retailed new in New York. Among the final examples of the most sought-after E-Type variant, it combines the fully synchronised gearbox, quad-cam inline-six, and independent suspension with the iconic Series 1 styling details. The car has since received a comprehensive concours-grade restoration by Classic Showcase, covering bodywork, drivetrain, and all ancillary systems, and is accompanied by a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate confirming matching numbers.
