Auction description:

7th Mar, 2026 Symphony of Spring; Ascot Racecourse

1970 Jaguar E-Type Series II Roadster

1,200 dry miles since nut and bolt restoration

Estimate £69,000 - £78,000

Registration: TNB 305J

Chassis No: 2R14687

Odometer: 36,000

1,200 dry miles since nut and bolt restoration

Restored by the late Toby Smith's (Jamiroquai co-founder and songwriter) bespoke E-Type restoration company

Perfect for European touring

This immaculate example of the Series II Jaguar E-Type, presented in British Racing Green coachwork over cream leather trim with black mohair hood benefitted from a complete nut and bolt restoration in 2015. Our owner required the car to be without fault and in concourse order for his home in the South of France, thus this car was imported from California in 2015 as part of a small side business created by the keyboard player and co-songwriter of the successful band Jamiroquai which supplied renovated E-Types to the top end of the UK market. Amongst other cars, they supplied the car used by Harry and Megan to get to their wedding dinner in Windsor Park and Matty Healy of the 1975 also enjoys one of his complete rebuild E-Types amongst many other celebrities.

As you can see from the pictures it remains in near concourse condition, fitted with a modern stereo, blemish free bodywork and the vendor states ‘you can really see every nut and bolt still shines bright’. This is not a huge surprise as the car had been in the dry warm climate of the South of France and only covered 1,200 dry miles since the full restoration and has always stored in a climate-controlled cocoon when not in use. Having been recently been imported from the owner's South of France residence where annual Technical Inspections (French MoT equivalent) were carried out. On arrival back in the UK it was put through a successful MoT test, giving the new owner peace of mind - though obviously this car is exempt from this requirement due to its age. This vehicle is ready for an amazing European tour with its new owner and being left hand drive, it will feel right at home. Consigned by Mathew Priddy
