Auction description:

Lot Number 20008

JAGUAR E-TYPE

Registration Number DPO 61G

Chassis Number 1R20295

Engine Number 7R4757-9

Transmission Manual

On offer here is a right-hand drive, matching numbers example that comes to market from long term ownership under sad circumstances. The long-term owner sadly passed away at the end of last year and so the E-Type is reluctantly for sale via his widow. The car is accompanied by a huge history, with seven large files accompanying the car. There is simply too much information to list here so some highlights are detailed below:

Original green log book and previous Tax discs

Previously displayed at the NEC on the JEC Club stand

Previous JDC concours winner

Photographic record of a 10-year ground up restoration with a written story of the work carried out

Previously featured in Practical Classics magazine

Maintained over the years by Anthony Taylor of Autotune

Manual gearbox example showing three former keepers

Original colour is Opalescent Maroon and the car is a sunroof example

Our team recently drove the car from Bridgenorth to our storage facility in Warwick, where it performed well and we encourage all interested parties to come see the car and the history to fully appreciate what is on offer here.

Summary:

This special example is offered at an extremely competitive guide price when you consider all of the above, its long-term private ownership, condition and extensive history. This charismatic 4.2-litre, manual gearbox coupé offers an excellent opportunity to enter the rewarding world of E-Type ownership.
