The last Jaguar E-Type Series II Fixed Head Coupé goes to auction at Blenheim Palace
Silverstone Auctions is to auction a Series II Jaguar E-Type Fixed Head Coupé believed to be the last of its type ever sold as new. In excellent condition and never having undergone a major restoration, the Jaguar Light Blue E-Type will go under the hammer at the Salon Privé Sale at Blenheim Palace on September 2nd.  
Sold new by Charles of Pirbright on August 7th, 1971 and thought to be the last Jaguar E-Type Series II Fixed Head Coupé ever delivered, this beauty is estimated to sell between £65,000 and £75,000 likely making it the last Series II Fixed Head Coupé to find a home.
?This E-Type is truly striking,? says Jonny Shears, Classic Car Specialist at Silverstone Auctions. ?The care and attention to detail this car has received from the beginning is impressive, and it really shows. The history files are extensive, and when you think this might be the last one of its kind ever sold, it makes it a very remarkable car indeed.? The Jaguar Light Blue colour scheme is complemented by a contrasting dark blue interior and the car clearly enjoyed a cosseted life from day one. Other than regular maintenance, routine repairs and parts replacements, the E-Type has never required a full restoration, and therefore presents in almost immaculate original condition, including its 4.2 litre engine.
