Vehicle Description
Just arrived - E-Type 4.2 FHC 1966 LHD
This fascinating E-Type is a very original one-owner car that was
delivered new to Geneva before being imported to the UK and
subsequently dry-stored for almost 30 years.
Constructed as a LHD Coupe with the new 4.2 Litre engine this
E-type was delivered new to a Mr Moustafa Ammar, a diplomat living
in Geneva and working for the Swiss Embassy. According to the
original Bill of Sale that comes with the car, Mr Ammar took
delivery of the Jaguar on June 14th 1966. It came with an optional
Becker radio and key operated aerial and was finished in Opalescent
Dark Green with Light Tan interior. During his time in Switzerland
Mr Ammar used the car comprehensively, driving around Europe and
even on occasion taking the long journey back to Egypt, as
confirmed by Petrol receipts found in the car. Both Ammar and the
E-type remained in Switzerland until 1970 when he was posted to the
Egyptian Embassy in London. Naturally he brought the car with him,
registering it in August of 1970, which explains the J registration
number it carries to this day. Over the next 19 years the car was
similarly well-used until a major engine overhaul was required in
1989. This work was undertaken by Martin Pyke at Classic Spares.
For reasons unknown, following the successful completion of this
work the car saw limited use, covering only 100 or so miles, before
being put into dry storage later that same year. Recently awakened
from its slumber it has now been acquired by JD Classics and
remains in incredible unrestored condition. The car is very solid
and although the paintwork shows some signs of its age the interior
is wonderfully patinated and with a sympathetic mechanical and
cosmetic overhaul the car could be used as is. Alternatively JD
Classics could undertake a full restoration to individual customer
requirements. Accompanied by a fascinating history file including
the aforementioned Bill of Sale, original warranty, MOT
certificates, registration documents and numerous receipts and
other paperwork, it offers a very rare opportunity to acquire a
one-owner Series 1 E-Type with rock-solid provenance�with
all�Numbers Matching the vehicle's factory data sheet.
