1967 JAGUAR E-TYPE SERIES 1 4.2 RHD FHC
£127,995
Brought to our Brokerage books by one of our current restoration clients is this December 1967, matching numbers Series 1 4.2 RHD FHC with just 2 owners to its name.
The first owner was Mr Simon Green, the founder of the esteemed bespoke steering wheel company Moto-Lita, who purchased the car from K.D.M & Cherrington Ltd. of Berkeley Square in 1968. A copy of their original proforma invoice addressed to Mr Green dated 8th February 1968 has been provided in the cars documents. PYR 6F was also featured in an article written by Jim Patten "E-Type Jaguar - One owner from new" in the May 2001 issue of Classic Jaguar World. A copy of the magazine will also be included with the sale of the car. Simon Green was the custodian for 35 years until he sold it to Mayfair Motors in February 2003.
Fast forward to 2024 when one of our restoration customers brings his FHC E-Type to us to sell. Having owned the car since May 2004, he was the second custodian to enjoy years of classic car ownership. Years that included taking part in The Vaynor Classic in 2006 which took him and his daughter on a 70 mile route across the Shropshire / Powys border. In 2008, it was decided that PYR was in need of a freshening up since it had been 40 years since it was rolled off the production line, so M.V Classics of Hampshire were entrusted to carry out a full end-to-end restoration. Every component was stripped and either restored, or replaced, resulting in a car that is as good as the day Mr Green collected it from K.D.M & Cherrington back in 1968.
The car comes with an extensive history folder and as such, is a special Series 1 example which would benefit from continental touring, or could form an important part of any classic car collection.
