• The 49th right-hand drive Roadster built

• Restored condition

Manufactured in June 1961, this E-Type Roadster has the flat floors and external bonnet locks typical of these early cars. The 49th right-hand drive Roadster built, it was sold through Kennings Ltd of Shrewsbury, Shropshire to one G S Budge in North Wales. The car was finished in Imperial Maroon with matching interior and black hood.

In 2004 the car was imported into Australia by our vendor. The purchase invoice is on file together with some WA insurance documents and a Heritage Certificate. Also on file are numerous photographs detailing the restoration carried out by our vendor, a lifelong Jaguar enthusiast. The car is presented in restored condition. This early right hand drive external bonnet lock car is an incredible piece of Jaguars History, having arrived from an Australian Jaguar collector for the sale.
