This particular E-Type coupé has enjoyed an illustrious 20-year competition career, which has included participation in the Spa 6-Hour endurance race and Goodwood Members' Meeting. Maintained regardless of cost by the current owner, it is fitted with a very tractable, triple Weber-equipped racing engine built by the acknowledged maestro, Rob Beere, which was refreshed in 2015 and is said to produce 340bhp. Other noteworthy features include peg-drive wheels, correct brakes, Avon competition tyres, plumbed-in fire extinguisher, roll cage, leather seats, full synchromesh close-ratio gearbox, 3.54:1 ratio Powr-Lok differential, and a fast road/race suspension set-up. This car is eligible for the Jaguar Heritage and other historic sports car series or would be equally suited to fast road use. Fully prepared and race ready, 'PFL 478' comes with sundry invoices, MoT to August 2016, a V5 registration document and current FIA/HTP papers.
