Lot 127
1965 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Coupe- 1 of 1,584 RHD Series 1 4.2 Fixed Head Coupes made- Purchased by the vendor from Eagle E-Types as a project car and extensively restored during 2014-2015- Original engine but sympathetically upgraded with a Tremec T5 gearbox, electronic ignition, Bluetooth 'hands free' telephone facility etcTriumphantly launched at the March 1961 Geneva Salon, Jaguar's '150mph' E-Type was the sports car that (a) put the swinging into the 'swinging sixties', (b) no lesser a man than Enzo Ferrari dubbed 'the most beautiful car in the world', and (c) transported a galaxy of stars from Brigitte Bardot to George Best, Tony Curtis to Donald Campbell and Roy Orbison to Steve McQueen. Though not designed as a racer, the E-Type was nevertheless a direct descendent of the all-conquering D-Type and thus had motorsport embedded in its DNA. Equipped with all-round independent suspension, rack and pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes, its handling and roadholding proved more than a match for most rivals. Just one month from launch Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori drove the Equipe Endeavour E-Type ('ECD 400') to victory at Oulton Park and some fifty-six years later the model remains a force to be reckoned with in historic racing. Updated during August 1964, the Jaguar gained a larger 4235cc XK DOHC straight-six engine and more user-friendly manual gearbox with synchromesh on each of its four forward speeds. Thankfully, the Big Cat's beautiful styling remained unaltered until the introduction of the so-called Series 1.5 cars during September 1967 by which time just 1,584 RHD Series 1 4.2 Fixed Head Coupes had been made. According to its accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Production Record Trace Certificate, this particular example - chassis 1E20499 - was completed on 26th March 1965 and despatched to South London Motors Ltd early the following month. First owned by Derek Clark, it subsequently passed to Surrey residents R.H. Hopkins, K. Lockhart, Michael Hammond and Edward Baylis. Taken off the road during the 1970s, the E-Type was re-registered with the DVLA under its original registration number 'ELA 867C' on April 1st 1979. Changing hands three times thereafter, the Fixed Head Coupe was purchased by the vendor in October 2013 from Henry Pearman of renowned specialist Eagle E-Types. Mr Pearman had been holding the Jaguar in stock as a suitable candidate for one of his company's restorations but agreed to sell it 'as was'.Enlisting the services of craftsmen local to his Suffolk home, the vendor had chassis 1E20499 treated to an extensive 'bare metal' restoration during 2014-2015. The bodyshell was repaired as necessary and its opening panels trued for alignment before being painted Opalescent Dark Green. The interior was re-upholstered by Aldridge Trimming and the brightwork refurbished. A Tremec T5 five-speed manual gearbox was fitted for improved high-speed cruising (the original gearbox and propshaft come with the car) and the E-Type further upgraded via the installation of a heated rear window, electronic ignition, updated starter motor, Bluetooth 'hands free' telephone facility, period looking but modern stereo, improved cooling and uprated brakes. Sent to marque specialist Roach Classics Ltd for a stem to stern 'spanner check', 'ELA 867C' was found to need little by way of adjustment / improvement. Unhappy with the performance of the car's original 'matching numbers' engine the vendor has just recently had it overhauled again this time by Woodbridge Classic Cars.Still being 'run in', the straight-six started readily upon inspection and ran well during our recent photography visit (October 2017). A handsome, home market car, 'ELA 867C' has much to recommend it. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, original logbook, restoration photos and MOT certificate valid until September 2018.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1966 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Roadster- 1 of 863 right-hand drive Series 1 4.2 Roadsters made and warranted to have covered 49,000 miles from new - Purchased by Patrick Thornton of P & K Thornton Restorations 'Classic Jaguar Specialists' in 1986 and painstakingly refurbished before returning to the road in 2008 - 'Matching' chassis and engine numbers and original Carmen Red with Black livery - Implicated in the infamous 'one armed bandit murder' of 1967 which inspired the film 'Get Carter' - Referenced in the Mark Knopfler song '5:15am' from the album Shangri-La For many people, the E-Type remains the ultimate production Jaguar. A car whose heady blend of styling and performance were so exceptional at its 1961 Geneva Motor Show launch they continue to cast a smooth, elliptical shadow over the marque's new sports cars some 56 years later! Its Malcolm Sayer-penned lines are thought by many to be among the most striking ever to adorn a motor car. Indeed, only a few years ago the Daily Telegraph ranked the E-Type top of the `100 most beautiful cars of all time' and, of course, none other than Enzo Ferrari beat them to it by many years when he similarly described it as `the most beautiful car ever made'. Like the XK150 before it, it was born of Jaguar's competition successes on the race tracks of Europe. Make no mistake, this was no ordinary motorcar - it was a true thoroughbred. Allied to a monocoque passenger cell, the model's tubular front sub-frame cradled a 3781cc DOHC straight-six engine, independent torsion-bar suspension and rack and pinion steering, while its back axle played host to a sophisticated coil-sprung set-up complete with inboard disc brakes. From birth, the E-Type was available either as a Fixed Head Coupe or two-seat Roadster. Among the very fastest cars of its generation, contemporary road tests found the newcomer to be capable of 0-60mph in circa 7 seconds and 150mph. Despite this, engine size was increased from 3.8 to 4.2-litres in October 1964 and, with the change, came a sweeter all-synchromesh gearbox, better brakes and electrical systems, plus more comfortable seats. A mere 863 right-hand drive E-Type Series 1 4.2 Roadsters were made prior to the introduction of the so-called Series 1.5 cars in September 1967. According to its accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Production Trace Certificate, this particular example - chassis 1E1482 - was manufactured on 11th February 1966. Finished in Carmen Red with Black leather upholstery, it was road registered as `LGT 788D' and supplied new via Linmac Ltd to Kemal Kansaran of Ilford, Essex. However, the Roadster's actual first owner is understood to have been Mr Kansaran's business associate Vince Landa. Continuing the distancing trend, the E-Type was booked in for its first service at 1,016 miles with Hackney Road Motor Services by Rensa Models Ltd of Long Street, London on April 1st 1966. A former boxer, Mr Landa fell foul of the infamous Kray Twins when they accused him of installing slot machines in some of their clubs. Relocating to the North East as a result, he set-up Social Club Services - a fruit machine business valued at £8m in 1966 - and became the owner of The Piccadilly and Birdcage nightclubs in Newcastle which played host to the likes of Tom Jones and Roy Orbison. Although, his main residence was Dryderdale Hall, Bishop Auckland, he also had a property in Spain and maintained links to London and the South-East. Embroiled in the so-called `one armed bandit murder' which saw Social Club Services' employee Angus Sibbert shot dead on January 4th 1967, `LGT 788D' was supposedly being driven that night by Michael Luvaglio (Landa's brother) and Dennis Stafford who were subsequently convicted of the crime. Messers Luvaglio and Stafford have long protested their innocence and the whole affair is referenced in Mark Knopfler's song 5:15am as well as being cited as an inspiration for the film `Get Carter' (which just so happens to feature Dryderdale Hall as the villain's lair). Eventually released by Durham Constabulary to H. Sibley of Pear Tree Garage on 10th September 1968, the Jaguar's next owner was reportedly Norman Gibbs of Hebburn, South Tyneside. A quiet spoken gentleman who was rarely seen without a jacket and tie, Mr Gibbs kept the car until 1986 when it was bought by Mr Willis, a Surrey-based dealer. Promptly advertised in Exchange & Mart on March 6th, `LGT 788D' was described thus: `E-Type Roadster, 1966, original red paintwork, 48,000 miles, service books, last owner 17 years, requires restoration'. Unperturbed by the work needed - if only because he and his brother own a restoration business specializing in Jaguars - the vendor had long been on the lookout for a late E-Type 4.2 Roadster that had left the factory in Carmen Red with Black upholstery. A personal project carried out on an `as and when' basis, the car had its repaired bodyshell re-sprayed during the mid-1990s but did not return to the road until 2008 (circa 700 miles ago) and indeed has just had a hood bag made for it. Aside from some crazing to the bonnet's power bulge which was caused by a stopper that ICI discontinued shortly thereafter, the Jaguar's Carmen Red cellulose paintwork remains highly presentable. Warranted to have covered just 49,000 miles from new, the E-Type has been thoroughly mechanically overhauled. Pleasingly retaining its original engine and gearbox, the Roadster benefits from an uprated cooling system, limited slip differential, taller back axle ratio, wider stainless wire wheels and improved Coopercraft front disc brakes. As smart underneath as it is on top, there is little doubt that the two-seater's rejuvenation was a labour of love. Described by the vendor as being in `very good' (paintwork, gearbox) or `excellent' (bodywork, engine, electrical equipment, interior trim) condition, this highly desirable, low mileage E-Type is only being offered for sale after thirty-one years to help fund a house purchase. The subject of an article in the E-Type Club's magazine entitled `E-Type Jags and Flashy Suits' during February 2012 (copy included), `LGT 788D' also comes with a jack, tool roll, handbook, brochure, Heritage Certificate, Exchange & Mart advertisement, Norman Gibbs' driving licence, first service invoice and MOT certificate valid until October 2018 etc. A fabulous car with a remarkable story to tell. PLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press we have been contacted by the author of the 'E-Type Jags and Flashy Suits' article, Mr Michael Cassidy, to say his subsequent research has shown that (a) Vince Landa's nightclub portfolio did not include the Birdcage and (b) Harry Sibley of the Pear Tree Garage was 'a regular in the company that Landa kept'.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.
