The car is known to have competed in hill climbs and sprints, this was the first of many e-types owned by Sir Anthony Hopkins the famed pianist been delivered to him in October 1961.
Would be interested and appreciate in any info from 1962 onwards regarding its competition life.

Any information on who currently owns this car? An early car with a know racing history by someone famous is certainly worth preserving--even if it does require a new tub.

Antony Hopkins the music man owned this car which he raced at Goodwood and Siverstone and then afterwards bought the 12th lightweight car from Phil Scragg the famed hill climb master who would die driving a V12 at Silverstone some year later. Both drivers are well noted in most of Porters books.
