Sold for £34,500 inclusive of Buyer's Premium

This right-hand drive, manual transmission V12 E-Type comes with Jaguar Vehicle Information Sheet confirming matching chassis/engine numbers and original livery of Primrose Yellow with black interior. The previous owner purchased the E-Type from The School Garage of Whaley Bridge, Derbyshire in 2010. Restored several years ago to a good standard, 'JAT 159L' has covered only 2,000-or-so miles in the last ten years and presents well in all areas, especially the under-bonnet and beautiful original interior. The car is offered with sundry bills and a quantity of expired MoT certificates.
