We are delighted to present this stunning 1968 Jaguar E-Type Series 2 4.2 2+2, a factory UK right hand drive example finished in the ever-iconic Signal Red with black interior. A true British classic that needs no introduction, this example stands out as a matching numbers example, confirmed by its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate.
Manufactured on 7th November 1968 and dispatched on 25th November 1968, this E-Type still proudly retains its original registration ‘AGH770G’. The Heritage Certificate confirms key details including:
- Chassis Number: 1R35068BW
- Engine Number: 7R35441-9
The ownership history is equally impressive. The previous keeper acquired it in 1995, with the current owner having enjoyed it for the past 10 years, showing long-term care and enthusiasm from both custodians.
Originally discovered as a barn find, this E-Type has since undergone a comprehensive, no expense spared restoration, with approximately £35,000 invested. The Jaguar was stripped back to bare metal and restored to the high standard you see today. This isn’t just talk either, there are two full photographic albums documenting the restoration in detail, alongside a substantial history file packed with invoices and receipts.
The condition today reflects that level of work. The Signal Red paintwork presents beautifully with a deep gloss, the chrome is bright and correct, and the overall stance is exactly as it should be. The black interior is clean, classic and very well kept, offering that timeless E-Type feel. The addition of a factory sunroof is a rare and desirable touch, making it even more usable.
Under the bonnet sits the legendary 4.2 litre straight-six engine, paired with an automatic gearbox, providing smooth, effortless performance. It starts, runs and drives exactly as a well-restored example should, making it fantastic for both relaxed touring and weekend enjoyment.
The history file is extensive and includes:
- Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate
- Original service book
- Large original Jaguar workshop / service manual
- Two full photographic albums of the restoration
- Extensive invoices and receipts throughout its life
- Old MOT certificates
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a properly restored, matching numbers E-Type with genuine provenance, long term ownership history and exceptional documentation. It’s the sort of example that not only looks the part but has the paperwork and story to back it up.
A truly iconic Jaguar, ready for its next chapter!
