Finished in black with tan leather upholstery, this particular example is described by the vendor as being in "very good" condition with regard to its engine, four-speed manual gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, chassis, bodywork and wheels / tyres (while, he rates the paintwork as "good" save for some lifting on the bonnet). Reportedly the eleventh from last Commemorative Roadster made, 'JPL 872N' was completed on 20th August 1974. Supplied new to a Mr Sebborn by Coombs & Sons (Guildford) Limited on March 18th 1975, it passed into the current (second) ownership the following January. Said to have been refurbished "to maker's specification in 1980 by Michael Cane Restorations Ltd, Mill Lane, Godalming, Surrey (copy invoices with history)", that same year apparently saw the E-type fitted with a stainless steel exhaust system by P.J. Langford & Company. Riding on correct-type steel wheels and retaining its original hood, 'JPL 872N' also benefits from a Frigking air conditioning unit. Warranted to have covered just 36,000 miles from new, this two-owner Commemorative Roadster is offered for sale with original Passport to Service booklet, Operating, Maintenance & Service handbook, various old MOT certificates, aforementioned copy restoration invoices and fresh MOT certificate.

I am the current owner having bought it from the Auction in question.

I have been around E Types all my life and in particular the V12 Roadster. This car has not been restored and remains original in almost every respect though it has had cosmetic work mainly rear suspension and engine compartent refurb and detailing some years ago. This car still wears it's period Dunlop Whitewalls, original hood in superb condition, leather and carpet etc. Thankfully this car has not beeen "got at" by the wrong people.

I am in contact with the 2nd owner who bought it when it was just 10 months old. That make sme the 3rd owner.

Paintwork isn't great but I am very particular. I will have it sympathetically repainted only when I find the right company that understands how important this car is.

Every invoice, MOT and hand book is still present. I have removed the aftermarket AC unit for the sake of originallity which I am a sucker for.

This car will be cherished and will join the other cars in my collection.

Auction description:
Lot 316
1975 Jaguar E-Type Series III Commemorative Roadster
Registration no. JPL 872N
Chassis no. 1S.2855
Engine no. 7S.15904-SA
£180,000 - 220,000
US$ 290,000 - 350,000

The rare and exclusive E-Type offered here is one of 50 special roadsters built to commemorate the end of the model's production in 1974. The chassis number sequence commenced at '2822' and ended with '2872', all bar one of the 50 cars being finished in black.

First registered on 18th March 1975, chassis number '1S.2855' is the 17th from last E-Type ever made and one of only 19 manual transmission cars in this series. Sold new in 1975 by Coombs & Sons of Guildford, it was registered 'STD 1' and remained with its first owner for just 10 months. In January 1976 the E-Type passed to the second, and last, registered keeper and was reregistered as 'JPL 972N'.

The second owner enjoyed his car for the next 37 years, during which time it was very well maintained and very well cared for. A vast amount of service invoices and previous MoTs is included in the sale, confirming that the recorded mileage of 36,875 is correct. In fact, 'JPL 872N' has only travelled 9,000 miles since 1978. The original service book carries 10 supplying-dealer service stamps prior to that date, all accompanied by the dealer's detailed service records.

In 2008 the vehicle commenced a three-year refurbishment (though by no means a restoration) by E-Type UK and has covered only 393 miles since its completion. All components, engine bay, running gear, suspension and paintwork received a highly detailed refurbishment to achieve a breathtaking concours-standard 'better than new' car. Additionally, the cooling system and suspension have been brought up to modern day standards making this E-Type even more enjoyable to drive. The interior remains totally original and the car comes complete with its original hood, tonneau cover and factory hard top. 'JPL 872N' currently runs on chromed wire wheels but included in the sale are its original chromed steel wheels shod with very rare Dunlop SP whitewall tyres. The spare wheel is unused and the original tool kit is included in the sale together with a complete set of original handbooks, spare keys and wallet containing the original 'Passport to Service' book.

This last-of-the line Jaguar E-Type is everything the enthusiast could wish for; the engine bay in itself is spectacular and the entire car is absolutely outstanding, faultless in every respect. With its limited ownership, un-restored condition and low mileage, this must be one of the best V12 E-Types to come to the market in recent times.
