Built for Le Mans in 1962 it is one of eight E-Types that raced at Le Mans and one of three that raced in the 1962 event. A private entry by Charles & Coundley, the motor failed after three hours. The car was sold after the race and did not turn up until the late 1880's in Guernsey. It was restored by Nigel Dawes and was finished in 1999.

The car was quickly purchased and restored by Jaguar expert, Nigel Dawes and it was finished in 1999. The car was then entered in the 1999 Royal & Sun Alliance Classic Cavalcade Tour.

Addendum to '09 comment above:
Well over 100,000 pound sterling was spent on the restoration. The car was then entered in the 1999 Royal & Sun Alliance Classic Cavalcade Tour. The car came to the USA in early 2001 and is now owned by the Blackhawk Collection.
