1966 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 4.2
Basic Information and History
This elegant Jaguar E-Type was imported to Sweden from Spain and was originally delivered new to the USA. The car has had three previous owners in Sweden and is now being sold as a high-quality restoration project. It recently passed an inspection with an approved result and is exempt from taxes. The last inspection before this was in 1994, and since then, the car has been stored in a garage. The seller imported the car from Spain as part of a relocation and has owned it since around 2010. This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone interested in a classic restoration project!
Condition
The car was restored 12 years ago, but unfortunately, the wrong primer was used, which has caused the paint to lift. However, there is very little rust, and no serious dents or scratches on the body. See pictures for more information.
