E-Types Could Be Sale Of The Century

Having reported recently on ‘ barn-find ’ cars fetching seemingly crazy prices at auction , it now seems British auction house Brightwells might be bucking the trend by placing amazingly low estimates on a brace of roadworthy Jaguar E-type Coupes . The first car , estimated to sell for £ 12 - 14,000 , is a 1967 E-type S2 2 + 2 FHC with automatic gearbox and 72,000 miles on the clock . The second car is the more desirable manual two-seater 1968 S2 FHC . This car also has a full MOT and has another low estimate of £ 14-16,000 . It is described as being “ basically in sound condition ... it is somewhat scruffy cosmetically and would no doubt respond well to some smartening up here and there .” If Brightwells have got their predictions right , then these cars could represent excellent value for money , but don ’ t be surprised if both machines vastly exceed their estimates . We ’ ll be expecting the press release ! www . classiccars . brightwells . com
