Jaguar E-Type Series 1 4.2 - Numbers Matching | Factory RHD
 
Few motor cars occupy the same rarefied space as the Jaguar E-Type Series 1 - an automotive icon celebrated not only for its performance, but for what many regard as one of the most beautiful designs ever committed to production.
 
This particular Series 1 4.2 represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a highly original and superbly presented example. A numbers matching car, it retains its factory right-hand drive configuration and is finished in its orginal colour cobination, red exterior complemented by a classic black interior - one of the most timeless and sought-after colour combinations available on the E-Type.
 
Powered by the legendary 4.2-litre inline six-cylinder engine and paired with the desirable factory 4-speed manual gearbox, this E-Type delivers effortless torque and refined drivability, thanks to the improved all-synchromesh transmission introduced with the 4.2 models. The result is a driving experience that is both engaging and remarkably usable, without compromising the purity for which the Series 1 is so revered.
 
Importantly, the car is accompanied by its Jaguar Heritage Certificate, providing documented confirmation of its original factory specification, including matching numbers, colour scheme, and build details. This certification adds a significant layer of provenance and assurance, further enhancing the car's desirability and long-term collectability.
 
The car presents in superb, highly detailed condition throughout, with crisp, flowing body lines, excellent panel fit, and brightwork that beautifully offsets the richness of its red finish. The black interior remains true to its original character, offering a purposeful yet elegant cabin that reflects careful ownership and sympathetic preservation.
 
Examples of this calibre - combining matching numbers, factory RHD specification, original colour scheme, and such presentation - are increasingly scarce. As such, this E-Type represents not only a compelling acquisition, but a significant long-term collector-grade asset.
A timeless expression of British motoring excellence, equally at home on the concours field, within a curated collection, or enjoyed on the open road.
