FLW 15C was first owned by the famous and influential British newspaper editor, David Astor, editor of The Observer from 1948 to 1975 at the height of its circulation and influence, and a member of the prominent Astor family, "the landlords of New York". Finished in it's factory colour combination of Dark Blue bodywork with Red leather interior, it is believed to have never been restored and retains an original Webasto sunroof. Said to be running well, and offered for sale with a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate as part of a reassuringly large history file which also contains a Buff Continuation logbook first issued on August 25th 1969, this is a highly original home market example of what is, in the eyes of many enthusiasts, the best E-Type model to own, boasting an interesting provenance and attractive colour scheme.
