According to its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, chassis 1S1516 was completed to ‘home market’, manual transmission specification and despatched to P.J. Evans on 26th October 1972. Originally finished in the gorgeous combination of Light Blue with Dark Blue upholstery, the E-Type’s early years are a mystery. The first MOT certificate on file was issued during 1984 at an indicated 51,795 miles. Known to have belonged to M. Charles of Walton-on-Thames in 1986, the two-seater then belonged to G. Thomas of Shenfield for twenty-one years before entering the current ownership during 2018. Fastidious about the cars in his collection, the vendor has had JC Specialists fettle the Jaguar’s suspension, braking system, cooling system, fuelling system and ignition system. He has also subjected the E-Type to a bare metal respray (documented via 400 photos). Believed, but not warranted, to have covered some 83,900 miles from new, ‘LFD 525L’ started readily and ran well on its uprated SU carburettors during our recent photography session. Refurbished at some stage, the interior trim remains smart and indeed the seller considers the whole car to be in ‘very good overall’ condition. Riding on gleaming wire wheels and sporting a wood-rimmed Moto Lita steering wheel, this highly appealing Series III V12 Roadster is only being offered for sale in an attempt to downsize.
