The Jaguar 'E' Type was a sensation when it was launched in 1961 and the most people have forgotten that the coupe versions were more expensive than their roadster counterparts and those days are returning especially with very good examples.
This is an original right hand drive fixed head coupe, which dates from 1964, and it has been in the current owners hands for the last seventeen years and he believes that it has only had two owners prior to him. It received a full ground up restoration in 1991 which was completed with a full photographic record, and since then it has completed a mere 2,500 miles. In 1998 it was used by Quentin Wilson's BBC TV Leviathon program and we are also informed that in 1999 the cylinder head was converted to allow the car to run on lead free petrol.
This then is an exceptional example which appears to still retain its original registration number, 399 KUE, and further more the owner believes that it has only covered 47,800 miles since it was first registered.
One of the best, which of course it exempt from road fund licence, and should not be missed!

Sold by Le Riche Automobile Restorers of Trinity in April 2019. Abbreviated and amended seller's description below.
www.leriche.com/sold.php

First registered in March 1964 as 399KUE, this is an original right hand drive Series 1 fixed head coupe, in the last owner's hands for seventeen years, he believes it had only two previous owners before him. In 1991 it was in Quentin Wilson's Leviathan programme.

In 2004 it was registered PMB489B, the owner at the time believed it had covered only 47,800 miles. Over the next 17 years the car covered a further 27,045 miles, the last nine years being registered in France. We have the UK and French Controle Technique records that confirm the mileage.

The E Type has been regularly used and maintained and following a check over and service in our workshops it is now ready for use back on British roads. On return to the UK a new owner can apply to register the car under PMB489B as the registration number is recorded with the DVLA.

Subject to an earlier restoration in 1991, it remains in very good condition, the bodywork presents well and the engine runs well maintaining good oil pressure. A good example of a 3.8 coupe it is ready for use. It comes with a history file containing a detailed insurance valuation and sales documents.
