SOLD AT HISTORICS AUCTION ON 27th NOVEMBER 2021 FOR £48,800

AUCTION DESCRIPTION BELOW

Supplied by University Motors Ltd. in Kingston-Upon-Thames and first registered on 22nd June 1973, this Jaguar presents in silver with blue interior and is fitted with an automatic gearbox. This is a one owner vehicle which has been cherished by the vendor and is offered to market for the first time in 48 years. The name on the original Jaguar ‘Passport to Service’ is the same as on the V5C registration document – something very rarely seen. The bodywork was restored some 12 years ago with the car being resprayed in its original colour of silver, the interior is original and has a delightful patina, a full-length sunroof has also been fitted. The V12 engine runs well and we are advised by the fastidious vendor that she drives well with no known faults. Originally used as his daily driver, the vendor has been using this E-Type less and less in recent times, with the car covering fewer than 500 miles in the last 15 years, hence the decision has been made to part with it. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a good collection of invoices, this is a very genuine Jaguar, she is not in concours condition but is a very good example. A piece of British motoring history in more ways than one.
