Auction description:
Windsorview Lakes July 22nd 2023
Lot Number 229
Registration EWV 440L
Chassis Number 151784BW
Engine Number 7S11217SA
Odometer reading 30,762 miles
Result Sold - £41,440

Single family ownership since 2005
UK supplied right hand drive car
Retains its original engine and specification
This particular example was originally supplied by Mamos Queensbury in Middlesex and has been in the care of our vendor’s family since around 2005. The car was such a cherished possession to them that they chose to export it to Australia with them in 2007, then bring it back to the UK again in 2016. The car shows an odometer reading of less than 31,000 miles, which our vendor believes could very likely be the genuine mileage. General wear points such as pedals and seats look to be original and in very good condition. Since the cars arrival back to the UK, it has been regularly serviced by Powerbell Services and has only required general servicing, never requiring any major attention. The vendor reports that the car drives beautifully but just has not been getting the use it deserves in the past few years, so he feels it is time for someone else to enjoy the car.

This car comes with a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate which confirms the car retains its original engine and factory specification of white coachwork over a black interior with an automatic gearbox. The hood fits tightly, the interior is in excellent condition and the chromework has a good shine. The paintwork, quite possibly original, is showing a few minor cracks in places but the overall appearance is very good and the car wears its 50 years with pride. Offered to auction with a very sensible estimate, this E-Type could be the perfect long-legged summer cruiser.
