This commemorative model has had five owners including the current vendor, the three most recent being members of the same family. The E-Type was used only for pleasure and has always been garaged and maintained. There are bills on file issued by recognised specialists for various works dating back to 2003, including one from Don Law Jaguar Specialists of Stoke-on-Trent for a minor repair after hitting a gate post manoeuvring the car at home (£3,938) and another from Kelbrook Classics of Barnoldswick for new chrome wire wheels in 2023 (£1,678). Also present are other bills relating to general servicing and maintenance. This most collectible of V12 E-Types is offered with current MoT and a V5C document.

7th Mar, 2026 Symphony of Spring; Ascot Racecourse

1974 Jaguar E-Type Series III (Commemorative Edition)

Estimate £95,000 - £120,000

Registration: GKD 444N

Chassis No: 1S2843BW

Odometer: 39,207

Part of a private collection

Thought to be the 29th from last E-Type built.

Originally registered on 8th November 1974 this E-Type has been much loved and has even changed hands within the same family three times. Presenting well in black with cinnamon interior, this Jaguar has been part of a private collection in recent years. We are advised this Commemorative Edition Jaguar drives well, with no known faults, and it will be presented for an MoT prior to auction. Thought to have been the 29th from last E-Type ever built, this is a great piece of motoring history. Some invoices are present in the history file and the MoT history would indicate the mileage of 39,207 to be correct, although this is not warranted. Supplied with a V5 registration document this rare E-Type demonstrates how the 1974 Commemorative Edition still resonates as a pinnacle of British automotive design. Consigned by Stewart Banks.
