Subject: [Bring a Trailer] New Comment On: 1974 Jaguar E-Type Series III Roadster V12

I bought J661E11034 in May 1966. I was the second owner and owned it until 1968 or thereafter. It was Primrose / Black and was fitted with the new Dunlop SP 41's which were black side wall and the predecessor of the SP 41's that are on my SIII.

I believe the original owner was a gentleman named Michael Boyle who was in the movie business, and who bought the car new from "John Lance" Burbank Imports.

This car was very special to me, since I had been advised by everyone to stay away from Jaguars.

I was not impressed.

After driving it for a few years I was importuned to sell it since I would be starting law school and it would sit in a parking lot.

Post law school when I was interested in recovering the aforementioned "11034"

In point of fact, I traced this car (in a failed attempt to get it back) and found it at a junk yard, stripped, however at that time it was beyond my belief that this once beautiful car would come to that.

I have images of my younger visage with this car in 1966. A photo of that is proudly in my garage today.

This one started my love for this wonderful Marque, having been a passenger in my cousin Stephen's XK120 in the early 1950's.

You can see my replacement circa 1974 in the database that I bought then.

If I could have recovered "11034" I would have but it was a disaster.

I don't know the whereabouts of this car and am sorry, but I am still around and fortunately I do remember the serial number even if I don't know what I did yesterday!!
