22 Aug 2017|1,910 views
Silverstone Auctions is to auction a Series II Jaguar E-TYPE Fixed Head Coupe that is believed to be the last of its type ever sold as new. In excellent condition and never having undergone a major restoration, the Jaguar Light Blue E-TYPE will go under the hammer at the Salon Prive Sale at Blenheim Palace, U.K. on 2nd September.
The U.K.-specification right-hand drive E-Type was built in August 1970, and was eventually delivered to dealer Charles of Pirbright, where it remained in the showroom for five months until it was sold to its first owner on 7th August 1971, likely making it the last Series II Fixed Head Coupe to find a home. The Jaguar Light Blue colour scheme is complemented by a contrasting dark blue interior and the car clearly enjoyed a cosseted life from day one.
Other than regular maintenance, routine repairs and parts replacements, the E-TYPE has never required a full restoration, and therefore presents in almost immaculate original condition, including its 4.2-litre engine. The first owner commissioned additional rust proofing on all exposed surfaces and voids, including door cavities, using Zeibart wax injection in the first year of ownership. With a low number of owners over the years treating the car to equally fastidious care, the condition of the car is described as 'simply amazing'.
