A lovely example of the Jaguar E-Type, this vehicle is an original matching numbers, factory right-hand drive roadster and has a fully documented history from new. With just over 46,000 miles showing on the clock (believed to be the original mileage), the Jaguar was delivered on the 24th of November, 1969 to a Mr. Fitzgerald, who lived in Holland and kept the car until 1980, when it passed to the next custodian from Jersey in the Channel Islands. During the classic car boom of the late 1980s, the E-Type underwent a comprehensive restoration by renowned specialists Eagle Racing Ltd of Kent (who did the mechanical side) and Classic Coachbuilders, also of Kent, who did the bodywork. This high quality, big dollar restoration was not completed until April 1991 and the Jaguar was subsequently sold to the present owners in April 1993, with the car initially kept in Lugano, Switzerland before moving to Sydney in December 2005. The Jaguar has been carefully garaged and regularly exercised in the present ownership, with maintenance done by Stefano Coratelli's ClassicCars Restoration in Lugano and more recently, local specialists in Sydney. To be sold with current New South Wales registration, the vehicle is accompanied by a history file, receipts for work completed, CD documenting the restoration and an original owner's handbook
