Vehicle Description
1965 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Litre Series 1 FHC
Manufactured on 17th March 1965, this�4.2 Litre Series 1�fixed head
coupe was a UK specification, right hand drive example finished in
Opalescent Silver Blue coachwork with Grey interior. Dispatched by
Jaguar distributor Henlys of Manchester on 26th March 1965 with UK
registration �CNC 420C.'
Acquired by the previous owner in April 2013 in unrestored but
running and driving condition, he commissioned a comprehensive
concours level restoration. The car was totally dismantled and
stripped down to a bare shell and bare metalled. Great attention
was made particularly to panel fit and shut lines.�
The finished shell was painted in the original colour of Opalescent
Silver Blue to an extremely high standard and all brightwork was
re-chromed. The interior was completely re-trimmed in the correct
Grey leather to concours standards. The engine and gearbox were
stripped and completely rebuilt. All components were either
restored or renewed throughout the vehicle during the restoration.�
A full stainless exhaust system was fitted including the manifolds,
an electronic ignition, competition chrome wire wheels�and DAB
Bluetooth radio.
A fully numbers matching and rare example of an original home
market 4.2 Litre Series 1�FHC freshly restored to exacting
standards. Still registered with its original UK number and having
remained in the UK all of its life, the restoration is fully
documented with photo's and invoices and has a clear ownership
chain from new. Please note that the car can be completed with JD
Classics upgrades to the new owner's exact specifications. Please
