This particular example was sold by ourselves to the present vendor some five years ago and he has enjoyed it tremendously since then but is now ready for a change.
It is one of the final batch of thirty-eight Jaguar 'E' Type V12 coupes built at the Brown's Lane factory and has the much preferred and rarer manual transmission and of course is an original right hand drive United Kingdam car. It is finished in red and has the biscuit interior trim and is described as being in good condition throughout with the benefit of a full length sunroof.
It was purchased by the previous owner in 1990 for, what was then, the sensible sum of ú26000 and he has had very little cause to regret the purchase as it was an absolute joy to drive. One thing he did do was to overhaul the front and rear suspension but apart from regular maintenance the present owner has not had to undertake any major reconstruction.
It is currently tested and we are sure will give its next owner as much pleasure as it has given its last two.
