At MotorCarTrader.com we take a different approach to buying and selling our classic Jaguar E-types. As opposed to pushing a large volume of cars through to quickly sell with extensive detailing prep and professional photography, we focus on going through each car mechanically to make them excellent and reliable driving cars. We have bought, sold, consulted and restored over 250 Jaguar E-types, so know them very well, how they are supposed to drive and what models need sensible upgrades to make them great drivers. Our cars are about value and the heavy work is already completed. In addition, we are fully transparent with imperfections or additional needs our cars may have.
We are so very excited to offer this rare and special 1968 Jaguar E-type Series 1.5 Fixed head Coupe. This wonderful Jaguar E-type was built on June 13th of 1968 and the date of dispatch was June 26 of 1968. This is a matching numbers car finished in the original color combination of Ascot Fawn with Beige interior. We do have the Heritage Certificate confirming all numbers and the original color. The XKE presented here is particularly rare as there was only 1,565 Series 1.5 Fixed Coupes produced and less than 100 in this color. In my opinion, after buying and selling numerous Jaguar E-types of every year, I feel the Series 1.5 is the best year to own. It offers the best of all worlds for driving with excellent creature comforts, the Series 1 look, with Series 2 reliability, better cooling and a stunning appearance. This car was owned by the well-known automotive journalist Jamie Kitman. Mr. Kitman commissioned a Jaguar E-type specialist to complete a full restoration of the car. There was one owner between Mr. Kitmans’s ownership and ours. We sold this car in 2022 to a collector in the Northwest and recently purchased the car back from our meticulous client. This Jaguar E-type has records going back to 1991 and also included are restoration pictures and invoices.
There were several articles written about this amazing Jaguar E-type on Motor Trend and also Road and Track magazines. The articles can be viewed at:
