  • Originally manufactured in 1967 and first registered in December of that year, this UK-delivered, right-hand drive Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5 Roadster – chassis no. 1E1916 – presents in Midnight Blue with Black leather trim and wears the highly desirable registration ‘6 BLU’, included in the sale.
  • This E-Type has been in long-term family ownership since 1980, with just three registered keepers in total, two from the same household.
  • Between 2006 and 2008, the car was subject to a comprehensive restoration carried out by AWS Engineering of Chipping Norton, documented through extensive invoices present in the history file.
  • The restoration included:
  • Full bare-metal body respray
  • Complete mechanical overhaul, including engine and cylinder head rebuild
  • Partial interior trim refit and reassembly
  • Rewiring and electrical rectification
  • Suspension and braking system rebuild
  • New clutch, exhaust, fuel system, and ancillaries
  • Detailed labour logs and parts invoices confirm the depth and quality of the work carried out during this period, culminating in the car’s return to the road in early 2008.
  • In preparation for sale in 2025, the car was entrusted to Performance Assessments Ltd for comprehensive recommissioning totalling over £9,000, having been in storage for several years.
  • The work included:
  • Full brake system overhaul (master cylinders, servo, calipers, lines)
  • Cooling system flush, new hoses and water pump
  • Replacement of speedometer and rev counter generator
  • Rectification of bonnet latch geometry and bonnet alignment
  • New steering rack mounts and grease service
  • Electrical repairs to lighting, horn, and dash instruments
  • New period correct style steering wheel with horn push
  • Comprehensive general servicing: oil/filter change, distributor points, differential and gearbox oil replacement, new fuel pump, suspension boot service
  • The result is a well-sorted, mechanically sound example of the increasingly rare and collectible Series 1.5 E-Type, ready to be enjoyed immediately.
  • Included with the car at the asking price is the long-associated and valuable number plate ‘6 BLU’, which the car has worn for decades and is an wonderful finishing touch to this gorgeous British classic.
