FOR SALE: The world’s most beautiful car – according to Enzo Ferrari – still captivates enthusiasts and non-car people alike 61 years after its launch. There is nothing like a Jaguar E-Type and there is everything to love about this example, meticulously restored to a factory-fresh level in 2013. This fully-restored 1967 E-Type Series 1 was the subject of extensive work by craftsmen in 2013 that included a complete rebuild of the drivetrain, suspension, steering and brakes that alone have receipts of more than $45,000. On top of that was the coachwork restoration complete with Connolly leather upholstery and trim and new interior components and fittings including a centre console for the addition of air conditioning and a period-style, but updated, Becker Mexico radio with integrated CD player. It is presented for sale in its original and desirable primrose colour, complete with a cabin in the same colour. The work in 2013 included ensuring there was no rust; that the doors, bonnet, boot lid and factory-fitted sunroof operated perfectly; and that the paint and chrome finishes were in top condition. The result is a car that looks stunning and drives with all the power, poise and comfort that made it a legend from the day it was released. The 4.2-litre engine is fresh, fast and sounds glorious while the four-speed manual gearbox is positive and light to use. Driving this example shows how the E-Type garnered so much attention and how it easily met its 1961 claim as a genuine 150mph (240km/h) sports car. The car will pass any inspection and is priced competitively against others now on the market. The car is offered for sale as the owner reduces his collection. It is located in Perth and available for inspection. Additional information and photographs are available. Transport to any buyer location and inspection reports can be arranged at buyer’s cost.
