Lot 611 at Silverstone Auctions Classic Motor Show sale of Classic Cars and Motorcycles held at the National Exhibition Centre near Birmingham. Sold for £119,250. Catalogue description below. The URL is

The E Type (as it was officially known) on offer here, is a 1972, original UK right hand drive, matching numbers convertible and has a Jaguar Heritage certificate confirming its birth right. Its fitted with a manual gearbox and has covered less than 45,000 miles from new, corroborated by MoTs from the 80s and 90s, and from 2000 by the DVLA.

Its very seldom that a hardened consignor first sees a vendor's car and is almost lost for words but such is the beauty of this lovely E Type, that was the case here. The Primrose coachwork is immaculate and the notoriously difficult to perfect shut lines are neat and tight. The sparkling Chrome Wire Wheels are enhanced by narrow strip white wall tyres and the unmolested Black leather interior is just as it should be, with the only nod to modernity a discretely fitted retro sound system, with integrated MP3 connection and hands free phone. The boot interior is superb and the engine bay is detailed to almost show standards.

Professionally restored in 2007/8 by Jaguar expert Peter Jarvis in Kent, the car was purchased by our vendor's predecessor who was looking for the best E Type he could find in order to chauffeur his daughter to her wedding. Although he planned to sell it after the event, that didn't happen, and he gradually became more and more involved in bringing the car to near perfection as he could achieve, spending a total of £25,000 over the next five years. There are invoices in the history file detailing this expenditure accompanied by a similar pile for the Peter Jarvis restoration.

When it was offered for sale just over three years ago our vendor fell in love with it and has kept it in a heated garage only bringing it out on sunny summer days and for its annual trip to the MoT station. The lever arch file also contains further details of the car's earlier life including service details and bills from the eighties and, remarkably, a carefully researched list of all 13 bona fide owners (the V5 says 14). Thirteen owners would normally ring alarm bells, however in this case, its totally academic as five minutes with this car will confirm that its history for the last few years is all that matters.

We are fortunate in having half a dozen E Types in this sale, and we urge you to spend time looking closely at this delightful primrose Jaguar.
