Car to be at auction 6/13
www.coys.co.uk/auction.php

Auction description:
Lot 159 - 1972 Jaguar E-Type V12 Roadster The second "GUYSON" E-Type
Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000
Registration Number: OMM 22K
Chassis Number: 151128BW

The Guyson E12 was a run of two cars commissioned by 1981 hill-climb Champion, Jim Thomson and built by William Towns. It was a rebodied series III E-Type Jaguar, the first of which came about as a result of Thomson crashing his Jaguar in 1972. The first model was completed for Thomson in 1974 with Towns subsequently converting his own E-Type.

Chassis 151128BW is well known as the second 'Guyson' car, and William Towns' own vehicle. The vendor reports there is a comprehensive history folder to support this claim, including William Towns own copy V5 log book.

Subsequently the car was re-converted by its previous owner back to the standard V12 specification, but it still maintains a legendary part of the synonymous abstract and outlandish designs from the likes of Jim Thompson - a hill-climb Champion.

Presented in blue with beige/ tan interior and MoT'ed until 2014, 151128BW is described to be in very good overall condition. Offered with a realistic reserve.
