The recent history of this Jaguar represents the tenacious desire of one man to acquire the very best E-Type he can find. To this end, he followed the progress of restoration of EYT 387C. However this car was not for sale. It was acquired by Ian Studley Cars in Somerset by the proprietor. He too was looking for the best but his route to perfection was to restore it himself. Fortunately he had the skills, manpower and workshop to affect this. Indeed they pride themselves on customer care and service. This was a car to keep by Ian Studley himself however, as an investment. So quality was foremost, no expensive was spared, either in parts or in time and the work long and intensive. During the ensuing four years, the current owner watched and waited. He liked what he saw. Once finished, a meeting was convened and money exchanged hands. The E-Type was driven home back in April, 2015. There is a complete file of all the tens of thousands of pounds of invoices and expenditure. In addition, there is a complete photographic record that shows the whole restoration, and confirms the quality of the workmanship. The car carries an MoT test certificate valid until May, 2017 and shows 89,922 miles.
The vendor reports that "the car drives like a dream, and the engine runs as well as any that my motor engineer has ever come across." . The car is essentially unmarked and is very close to being perfect; we are informed that it has never been driven in the wet or during the winter months. The interior leather is excellent and the cockpit is a wonderful place to be. Letting this big cat stretch her legs on an open country road is a joy!
