Introduction
Glyn Parry
An E-Type in this condition doesn't come around very often; reconditioned, revamped and reengineered to bring it up to the modern day, this E-Type is a special car indeed.
WUA 761H is an original fully matching numbers UK right-hand-drive Jaguar E-Type S2 Roadster in its original colours of Old English White with black mohair hood and black leather trim. The car still has its original registration number along, and of course with a Jaguar Heritage Certificate confirming all of the above.
The car is in an almost entirely original specification and it is in excellent condition throughout, having previously had a full nut and bolt rebuild. A few choice upgrades have improved the car’s usability and performance including: electronic ignition; stainless big bore 6 branch manifold and exhaust system; boot mounted inertia reel seatbelts and wide track 6.5 inch wire wheels with slightly wider than standard 205/70 Pirelli Cinturato tyres.
The car comes to market through Paul, a trusted trade seller from Heritage Classics - he is arguably the most respected aficionado on all things E-Type related. Paul was an engineer for many years at Jaguar Classic and is recognised as one of the leading experts in E-Types. The particular Jaguar presents in excellent condition and was an absolute joy to drive out on our test drive. Coming to market with a full engine rebuild by CK Engineering, the gearbox has also been fully overhauled with a new clutch installed as well.
Additionally, the triple SU carbs were overhauled fewer than ~10,000 miles ago by David Lonsdale; a carburettor specialist. Also on show is a new radiator, cooling hoses and alternator. Overall, a truly stand out car with a seriously impressive amount of servicing to back up its quality. It is estimated that over ~£40,000 worth of works have been attributed to the car over its history.
Paul told us, "the car has in effect had a full nut and bolt rebuild but not in the traditional 'years off the road' way. The history file shows that all elements have been attended to, mainly within the last 3,500 miles, but done over a period of time, so as to avoid lengthy periods in storage. This has resulted in a superb car that is now just about run in and shaken down".
There is an additional term to this auction and that is Paul will include his own comprehensive 6 month warranty on the vehicle - please see the History and Paperwork section for more details.
This is a car that drives almost as good as new thanks to the large amount of time, effort and energy put into it and you'll be hard pressed to find a better S2 Roadster on sale right now.
This listing was written from information supplied by Glyn after meeting with Paul the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.
