1965 4.2 Liter Jaguar E-Type FHC. Rust free CA car. Same owner for the past 22 years.

Original owner was the Honorable Charles H. Older, the judge at the Manson trial in 1970. Judge Older purchased it in Santa Monica, CA in Dec. 1965. Purchased by the present owner in 1994 with 76K miles on the clock, and in need of restoration.

Originally opalescent blue. Suffered a re-spray white in 1975. Disassembled and all body parts stripped to bare metal
and repainted silver.

Many mechanicals removed and rebuilt including engine and IRS. Interior refreshed with new dash top, carpets, and headliner. About 1000 miles on new 185R15 radial tires. Upgrades for modern driving include a T5 gearbox with 0.73:1 fifth gear, modern electric fan, coolant recovery tank, and others. The original gearbox and other parts are included with the car.

Completely reliable driver that can be driven anywhere in today’s traffic. Driven 20K miles since restoration with never a
failure.

Competitive in JCNA Driven Division competition. Won Best of Show, Driven Division, at the 2005 JANE Jaguar Festival.

Car is in Central VA (Richmond area), and is available for inspection/viewing.

Photos, Heritage Certificate, and provenance details available. Hagerty "Condition 2" car offered at $128,900 (below Hagerty's Condition 2 value).

A free bump for what looks to be a very nice specimen of the best years for the FHC - the S1 4.2. Seems to be appropriately priced with intelligent mods.

 

Price has been adjusted to $118K.
