To right-hand drive manual specification when it left the factory, this particular example was owned by a German enthusiast, Dr Dieter Holl, from 1980 - 2003. Repatriated via renowned Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialists Frank Dale & Stepson, the Roadster then passed through the hands of Maynard Flint Holdings Ltd of Harrogate before entering the current ownership in November 2003. Although photographs and invoices on file prove that an extensive restoration was undertaken during Dr Holl's custodianship, the past two years have seen the Jaguar treated to a thorough cosmetic and mechanical overhaul with attention being paid to its bodywork, interior trim, electrics, engine, suspension, brakes, steering and instruments etc. The results speak for themselves. Put simply this E-type V12 Roadster is one of the nicest we have encountered. Finished in midnight blue with red leather upholstery, it is worthy of close inspection and comes with a box file full of paperwork.

PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle is now registered as DBY882M.
