Description
According to the Swedish vehicle registry, this Jaguar was originally sold new in Sweden. According to the information we have obtained, the car has had eight owners over the years. Through the vehicle registry, we have managed to trace the three most recent ones. The current owner has, however, compiled an extract from the Swedish National Archives, so the history is thereby complete. The current owner acquired the car in November 2012. Relatively soon after the purchase, work began on restoring parts of the car. The car was repainted in 2013. Numerous receipts exist for improvements made to the car over the years. We cannot specify every detail, but to mention some of the major items:
Numerous chassis components replaced, carburetor rebuild, all ignition components, removal and overhaul of the rear axle, overhaul/replacement of the brake system, starter motor, and more. Receipts are available for the seriously interested buyer, along with various other information. In total, around SEK 200,000 has been invested in the car during the current owner's time. Most of the major work and repairs have been carried out by the Jaguar specialist Joe´s Garage, Furulund

Condition
-
Mechanical condition
Everything works flawlessly. Engine and gearbox. The engine and gearbox have been preserved untouched according to the current owner. The car brakes as it should and no abnormal noises can be heard from the chassis. Some of the boots on the tie rod ends are slightly cracked.
The instruments also work flawlessly, with the exception of the clock. Fine tires from 2013 that have not covered many kilometers since they were mounted. Wheels in superb condition. -
Interior condition
Here, the upholstery has been preserved from the original. The leather has been treated and is handsomely patinated. The seats have been partially re-stuffed. Fine panels and instruments. Headliner and carpets likewise.
-
Exterior condition
A paint job that has held up very well despite being done over ten years ago. There is a small paint crack on the right front side of the hood. Not something you particularly notice, but good to know. The repaint was done in a color as close as possible to match the original color.
-
General condition
A car in fantastic condition. Attractive color scheme and everything mechanical in full working order after many parts were replaced during the restoration. Just get in, turn the key, and enjoy.

Facts about the model
The Jaguar E-Type was launched in 1961 and is regarded as one of the most beautiful sports cars in automotive history. It was originally built as the Series 1, followed by the Series 2 and the V12-powered Series 3 from 1971.
The term "Series 1.5" is used informally for cars from approximately 1967–1968 that fall between the Series 1 and Series 2. They retain the Series 1 bodywork but feature several technical and practical updates introduced during the late 1960s.
What distinguishes the "Series 1.5" (and 1968 models) from early Series 1 cars
- Engines: the 4.2-litre inline-six was the most common. The original 3.8-litre engine had effectively been replaced by the 4.2-litre unit by the Series 1.5 period.
- Gearbox: synchromesh on all four gears.
- Brakes: outboard disc brakes front and rear, with improved components.
- Electrical upgrades: a dynamo was gradually replaced by an alternator on later models.
- Comfort and equipment: improved safety features, seats and interior trim.
- Bodywork: retained the smooth, low Series 1 profile.
Technical specifications (typical for the 4.2-litre E-Type Series 1.5, approximate)
- Engine: 4.2-litre inline-six with SU carburettors.
- Power: approximately 245–265 bhp, depending on the exact version and market specification.
- Gearbox: 4-speed manual (early versions lacked synchromesh on first gear, but the Series 1.5 had synchromesh on all four gears).
- Body styles: Fixed Head Coupe (FHC) and Roadster (Open Two Seater/OTS), as well as a 2+2 version in certain years.
The 1968 Series 1.5 is popular among collectors because it combines Series 1 styling with later practical improvements.
