Having formed part of a private collection in recent years, this exceptional right-hand drive, outside bonnet lock roadster is finished in its original shade of Pearl Grey with a black interior and matching hood. One of the earliest E-Types produced, Chassis No #90 has had a no expense spared, ground-up restoration overseen by marque specialists, Rothwell Engineering, completed in 2020 and is a matching numbers example of one of the earliest E-Types produced. As you would expect, the standard of finish is exemplary and a true credit to the craftsmen that have been involved in rebuilding this British great. So fresh indeed is the restoration and with only settling in miles covered, it is suggested that a period of running-in be followed to achieve the very best from this beautifully rebuilt Jaguar.
