This Jaguar E-Type 'Series 1½' is presented in Signal Red with black leather interior and presents as a beautifully maintained and comprehensively restored example of one of Britain's most iconic sportscars. This car has benefited from a documented professional restoration costing in excess of £30,000. Notably, it was originally supplied by Coombs' Chief Engineer, Ken Bell, a fascinating and desirable provenance supported by invoices on file. From 1993 until 2021, the E-Type was cherished by a single keeper, a near 30 years-ownership contributing to its well-preserved condition and continuity of history.
The car has had just five previous owners from new, with a clear and traceable ownership record. The accompanying history file is extensive, containing consistent service documentation and 35 MoT test certificates. These records commence in April 1981 at 63,967 miles and continue through to July 2025 at 1,136 miles. The odometer is understood to have gone 'around the clock' circa 2018, with the true mileage from new recorded as 101,400 miles.
