'OJF 742F' started life as a lefthand drive export model that was repatriated from the US in 1987. It is understood to have been restored in the 1990s, during which the chassis was converted to righthand drive and the engine from Stromberg to SU carburation. It has had four keepers since returning to these shores, the previous one of which acquired the Jaguar in 1991 and retained it before placing it in an Anglia Car Auctions sale in 2016, from which it was purchased by the vendor. Dry stored for most of his tenure, the E-Type still only displays a credible, though unwarranted, total mileage of 69,448 and he presently grades the 4.2-litre engine and manual five-speed gearbox as 'very good', the Roadster bodywork as 'good', and the Black leather trim and Red paintwork as average - the latter does display a degree of micro blistering in places.
