This example was exported to the USA in 1969 and with only a few owners was expatriated back to the UK in the 1990's. It was then recommissioned and converted to rhd by a renowned Jaguar specialist. She has had only 4 UK owners for these 28 years and there is also a lovely history file including the Heritage Certificate showing she is the original colour inside and out and has the original engine also. Over the years she has been maintained by some of the leading Jaguar specialists and over £12,000 spent in the last few years to keep her in the excellent condition you see in the photos.

Recent expenditure includes brake overhaul and she has been tuned on a Dyno which stated 253bhp, not bad for a 50 year old Jag! On the road the E Type is still amazing and an excellent driver, it must have been like jumping into a supersonic fighter jet when they were new in the 1960's. This one is ready for use and would be a terrific car cause around Europe and enjoy. Supplied fully inspected, serviced and with a 12 month comprehensive warranty.
