Inherited by the vendor from her late partner who had bought it on December 1st 1979, ‘PGF 540K’ is believed but not warranted to have covered just 46,140 miles from new. The earliest supporting piece of paperwork on file being an MOT certificate issued by Barton Autos Ltd of Barton-under-Needwood, Staffordshire on August 1st 1980 at an indicated 43,781 miles. Garaged alongside various other Jaguars over the past forty-three years, the E-Type has undergone a degree of restoration work. Treated to some new rubbers in 2010 and a brake system overhaul three years later plus general servicing, the Fixed Head Coupe started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. Fitted with manual transmission and uprated Koni front shock absorbers at some stage, this much-loved E-Type is now looking for its next long-term custodian. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, MOT certificate valid until November 2023, 1978-issued tax disc, Genesis of the Jaguar V12 brochure and assorted other documentation.
