Believed One Of 6 Examples With 'Flares' Heritage Certificate Restored By P&K Thornton in 1999 Aircon Power Steering Fresh MoT. The coachwork, which is still finished in Midnight Blue just as it was when it left the factory back in 1969, is very straight and aligns well with good shutlines. Squatting down and peering along the flanks also reveals nothing other than ripple-free panels and very shiny paintwork. The black leather interior has clearly been retrimmed at some point, and if its condition is anything to go by then this happened only a few years ago because the only visible wear is a slight softening of the base of the driver's seat along with a little general rumpling. The recent Vehicle History Check is clear, and the history file includes a Production Record Trace Certificate from the Jaguar Heritage Trust, the invoices from P&K Thornton for the restoration in 1999, the official Jaguar service manual, the Operating, Maintenance and Service Handbook, and miscellaneous bills from over the years plus a number of expired MoT certificates. It makes all the right noises too, especially when provoked when the induction rasp hardens and the exhaust note deepens. Of course, being a six-cylinder it's vibration free and revs like a sewing machine, which is handy because "the modifications were designed to be driven". The older restoration has held up well and it benefits from discreetly installed power-steering and air-conditioning; if you're in the market for an E Type coup then this one has a lot to commend it.
