Our Jaguar 'E' Type was first registered on the 3rd of March 1966 to the supplying Jaguar Authorized Dealer, Kays of Derby. On the 18th of March 1966, they transferred ownership to Mr. Osmund Stuart Scott & he kept the motorcar for over 19 years & covered a grand total of 93,256 miles!

Mr. Scott sold the Jaguar to his then neighbour, Michael Otton, an Official Land Rover Dealer in Shaftesbury on the 22nd of April 1985 & Mr. Otton kept the car for a further 21 years, covering an additional 17,000 miles!

During his tenure, Mr. Otton scrupulously maintained the Jaguar to Jaguar factory standards, logging all work completed in the correct Jaguar Periodic Maintenance Voucher Booklets.

Keith Slade became the 'E' Type's Third private owner in 2006/7 & continued to love & cherish the motorcar. He carried out improvements & upgrades that enhanced the cars already superlative qualities, they included:

Mr. Slade sold the motorcar on the 26th of June 2011 since when the 'E' Type has covered less than 2,000 miles.
In April 2013, marque specialists carried out a comprehensive road test, inspection & report & carried out all necessary works, the cost of which was £9,038.33.
