This early Series III E-Type roadster was purchased new from Henlys by the current owner, who used it to drive to and from his family's blacksmith's business until circa 1980. Kept garaged from new, the car has also been used to attend Jaguar Drivers' Club rallies and purely for pleasure. The E-Type has been maintained and serviced by Ian Tudor of Tudor Garage, London SE5 for most of its life. Finished in dark red with black leather interior, the car is described by the private vendor as in generally very good condition, the bonnet having been re-sprayed two years ago. The provision of a tow-bar (used for towing a glider on the road) is the only notified deviation from factory specification. Sold only on account of the owner's advancing years and ill health, this rare, one-owner, Series III E-Type is offered with sundry invoices, current MoT certificate, and a V5C registration document.
