Model E-Type Flat Floor Roadster

On offer here today is one of those rare 'flat floor' roadsters that have become the pinnacle of E Type collectors around the world. Purchased by the vendors father in the 1980's this car was the subject of an older restoration in the early 1990's and has been seldom driven since. Due to the value of this wonderful example, the owner decided to undertake a full engine rebuild earlier this year purely as a precautionary measure. At this time he also had the brakes and other items renewed with the total bill amounting to approximately £20,000. This delightful E Type represents a wonderful opportunity to acquire the rarest of the E Type legacy and a car that will always be the most coveted by any true Jaguar enthusiast.
