Jaguar

Few cars embody style, performance, and sheer driving pleasure quite like the Jaguar E-Type. Among these automotive legends, the Series 1 – 4.2 Convertible stands out as the ultimate expression of desirability and elegance. This exceptional example – chassis no. 1E11422 – combines uncompromising originality with a meticulous, high-quality restoration, making it one of the finest and purest E-Types available on the market today.

ORIGIN & AUTHENTICITY

This left-hand-drive E-Type was delivered on August 24, 1965, to Mr. Luther Goldfinque through Jaguar Cars New York.
The carefully selected color combination – Opalescent Golden Sand paired with a beige leather interior – beautifully captures the elegance of its era, evoking the unmistakable charm of the golden age of British sports cars. The original livery and matching-numbers configuration – engine, gearbox, and body – are fully confirmed by the Jaguar Heritage Certificate.

RESTORATION TO THE HIGHEST STANDARD

In 2013, this E-Type underwent a meticulous frame-off restoration by the renowned Italian specialists, Modenese Srl. Authenticity was paramount throughout the process, with original components carefully preserved and expertly refurbished wherever possible.

• Original engine fully rebuilt, retaining and refurbishing pistons and valve
• Fitted with new piston rings and bearings for peak performance
• Complete overhaul of cylinder head, gearbox, differential, and rear axle
• All rubber components, hoses, and seals replaced for lasting reliability
• Brand-new stainless-steel exhaust system installed

Combined with the four-speed manual gearbox, perfectly balanced chassis, and timeless design, this E-Type offers a driving experience every bit as thrilling as it was in 1965. More than just its condition and authenticity, this example captivates with the emotion it evokes—a rare harmony of purity, elegance, and performance.
