1966 Jaguar E-Type 2+2 4.2 – Right-Hand Drive – Dark Blue
Chassis: 1E50328
Engine: 7E51889-9
Dispatched: 17 August 1966 from Walter E. Sturgess, Leicester (UK-supplied RHD)

This 1966 Jaguar E-Type 2+2 presents beautifully in dark blue, matched with its desirable 4.2-litre XK engine and right-hand-drive factory configuration. As an early 2+2 model, it retains the classic long-bonnet silhouette, elegant proportions, and the unmistakable charm that made the Series 1 E-Type an icon.

Powered by the torquey 4.2-litre straight-six, mated to the 4 speed manual transmission, the car delivers the refined performance and character expected from a Series 1 Jaguar. The chassis (1E50328) and engine (7E51889-9) correspond correctly, and its known dispatch date—17 August 1966 via Walter E. Sturgess of Leicester—confirms its original UK-market delivery.  

This vehicle was exported from the UK with the original owners and sent to Australia in 1980. Then sent to new zealand in 1987. Documentation of this present with the vehicle. Appears this vehicle has had 5 owners throughout its life. 124543 MILES present on vehicle 

This example benefits from the practicality of the 2+2 cabin layout, offering increased interior space and improved comfort while retaining the unmistakable driving feel of the E-Type. The dark blue exterior highlights the car’s sculpted lines and remains a timeless, elegant colour choice for this model.

A rare and collectible right-hand-drive 2+2 with proper documentation and desirable mechanical specification—ideal for a Jaguar enthusiast or collector seeking a genuine Series 1 E-Type with history and presence.
