- 1 of just 776 RHD examples made and supplied new to Jersey as a personal export delivery for Mr Forest

According to its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust Production Record Trace Certificate, chassis 1R1320 was completed to right-hand drive specification on August 13th 1969. Noted as a personal export delivery for Mr Forest, it was dispatched to the St. Helier Garage, Jersey the following month. Granted a MOT certificate by Danson Garage of Sidcup on April 15th 1985, the E-Type was added to the DVLA's database just days later. Currently showing a credible but unwarranted 88,000 miles to its odometer, the two-seater has covered 17,000 of those since entering the current ownership in April 1992. Passing its last MOT test on March 27th 2017 with advisories relating to a minor exhaust leak, slight front suspension lower ball joint play, worn brake discs, deteriorated dust covers and corrosion (but not in a prescribed area), the Jaguar would self-evidently benefit from a bodywork restoration. Still propelled by its original 'matching numbers' engine, the vendor informs us that he will be driving 'SKR 97G' the fifty odd miles from his home to Woodcote Park. A worthwhile project, this rare RHD Roadster is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, Heritage Certificate, current MOT certificate valid until March 2018 and sundry paperwork including old MOTs back to 1985 (at 63,764 miles).
