1965 Jaguar E-Type

This car is a UK supplied 1965 model, which was at least partially maintained by a young mechanic, who later bought this actual car from the first owner. He then kept the car along with his 1928 Bentley, 1968 Mustang convertible and his VW Beetle drag racing cars until 2019, when it was bought by its current British owner, who shipped it to Singapore. It’s finished in the original Pale Primrose, with black leather interior.

When the Series 1 E Type was launched in 1961, it was claimed to have the phenomenal top speed of 150 mph (240km/h) although that has been disputed. This was put beyond doubt when the Series 1.5 was released, with the engine upgraded from 3.8 to 4.2 litres and the “Moss” gearbox replaced with a synchromesh unit. This is often described as best series of the E Types, as it retains the original sports car feeling, whereas later cars became heavier and more like grand tourers.

It’s in a bonded warehouse in Singapore and inspected, tried and registered as the first Singapore owner to the lucky buyer.
