This particular car has been fully maintained for its whole life and the car's history file documents all the relevant details including its earlier custodians. It appears to have been extensively restored by Barretts Jaguar of Kent in 1987 and there is a photographic record in the file. Our vendor was aided in his search for the best SeriesII he could find by Ken Bell. ex-Coombes Jaguar, a respected authority on all things Jaguar.
The odometer currently indicates just over 95,000 miles and this, matching numbers, Series II looks superb finished in Signal Red with a Black interior. The wire wheel spokes have been upgraded to stainless steel and the cleverly modified stereo system incorporates Satellite Navigation, however, the car is essentially honest and still guided by its original steering wheel, a rare find these days.
BYF 100H is a fairly high-profile E-Type and has featured at many events, including being one of the cars selected to appear in the Guinness World Record Display collection of E-Types at Regent Street Motor Show in 2011 to celebrate fifty years since the E-Type was launched. It was also seen at the St.James Concours d'Elegance in 2013 and at Hampton Court in 2014. Additionally, this car was chosen by Boris Johnson, when he was Mayor of London, to take part in the convoy celebrating the opening of the Piccadilly and St. James two-way system, and appeared on BBC and ITV looking splendid.
Freshly MoT'd and ready for inspection, there can't be a more quintessentially British classic than a bright red E-Type.
