Heritage Notes
Never sold by the factory. Last one off the production line. 4-speed manual gearbox. Could start car in 4th gear with foot off the clutch and go directly to 150 mph, such was the torque and power of the V12 engine!

Production of the E-type came to an end in June 1974 with a special run of fifty cars. Forty-nine of these were painted black, while the second last car in British Racing Green was supplied to a well-known private Jaguar collector. These fifty cars carried a commemorative plaque, bearing a facsimile of Sir William Lyons's signature. This particular car was the very last E-type to be built, and was retained by Jaguar from the day it was made.
Registration: HDU 555 N (5 February 1975)
Chassis number: 1S/2872
Owner: The Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust

The car was taken out to participate in the 50th anniversary run from Coventry to Geneva. A nice article (and photo) is written about the run and the car in the Sept '11 issue of Classic Motorsports magazine.
