This magnificent E-type is restored to concours condition a few years ago and still in perfect condition.

This exquisite Series I roadster was dispatched in June 1963 with the first owner a Mr. J. Field of Iowa with the subsequent ownership of the car documented throughout to the present day to a total of only six owners.

The car was restored to exceptional factory specification, deserving of a significant E-Type and is a matching number example and went on to win multiple shows from 1992 to 2009 all of which are documented in the cars history file including twice winning the JCNA (Jaguar Clubs North America) National champion.

Finished in the striking colour of British Racing Green with a contrasting tan interior, this superb, multiple concour winning motor car is described by the vendor as being 10 out of 10 in every respect and is perfect for the collector who always wanted an exceptional roadster. We would recommend close inspection of this fine, highly collectible example, which is ready for the show circuit or indeed to be enjoyed with the roof down on the open road.

The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.
