Searching for a lost E Type
 

Hi to all,

I am lokking for a 1967 E type OTS VIN 1E14607 that my family imported as a new car to Israel, where I live.
The car was exported from Israel to the US in 1981 and was last sold on Ebay in 2016. A picture of the car below.

I will appreciate any help in locating the current owner of the car.

Thanks,
Yaron Silver

Hi Yaron,
If you have the VIN number it will be easier to search for it. If you haven't already, go to XKE Data - Keeping track of every Jaguar E-Type - Jaguar E-Type (XKE) information, articles, photos and register and enter the vin number in the search field. If the present or previous owner has entered the car information you will find it there.
Good luck in your search.
Bill.

Let us know if you find it.

Hi Yaron

whilst I cannot help you with relocating your former OTS - beautiful looking car though, I assume that you’d be interested in re acquiring it if that were possible?? Every time I come across a former owner the one thing they all have in common is that they regret selling or disposing of their car, I’m just wondering if this is describes your sentiment right now?
Good luck with your search.

Yaron,
The vin number for the car you are looking for is listed in the data at link I posted above. There is also a way to contact the present owner by email. Good luck.
Bill.

Bill,

I found the US (Dark blue) car on the XKE DATA website, but I can't find the email of the current owner of the car.
The last information I can find is the identity of the dealer that sold the car on Ebay in 2016.
Will appreciate your help.

Yaron

Yaron,
I don't think the contact emails are posted publicly, but there is a way to make contact with the owner.
I found reference to the owner here: XKE Data - Owners - Jaguar E-Type (XKE) information, articles, photos and register .In case the link does not work, here is how you can find it.
Go back to the XKE data site. You don't have to enter the VIN.
On the left side of the page, below where you would enter the VIN, there is menu with various resources. One of the resources is "Owner". Click on Owner.
A window with owner information will open. It is in alphabetical order. On the top you will see the letters of the alphabet. Chose "J".
When the J page opens you will see the list of owners names and the VIN for the car they own.
The person that owns your car (At least the last on record) is the first one on the list.
When you click on the person's name a window will open that allows you to send the owner a message through the site without divulging the person's email. The person's name seems familiar to me. I think he posts on this forum.
Good luck. I hope your search ends the way you want.
Let us know what happens.
Bill.
