According to the Jaguar Heritage Certificate that is included with the records for this Series 1 Roadster, this early right hand drive example (chassis number 850426) was delivered by Henlys of London on 22 April 1962.
The bulk of the extensive service record has been retained and collated by Mr Lees who acquired the car in 2012. In his tenureship it was kept garaged as part of a collection of interesting cars and used by him for enthusiast meets and sunny days runs. As far as we can determine from the thick pile of documents and photographs that accompany the car, the body was restored around 15 years ago and clearly to a very high standard.
More recently in April 2018 Winspeed have carried out a large amount of documented works that have included new inner and outer drive shaft universal joints, brake overhaul including Winspeed non-vented calipers, cylinder head overhaul to unleaded specification and electronic ignition among many other items totaling over £14, 700.
We subsequently purchased the Jaguar from Mr Lees and sold it to the most recent keeper in 2020 and it has been used sparingly since.
In our opinion, this is an excellent example of the most sought after variant of the iconic E Type Jaguar. The ownership history from the mid 1980's is well documented and the penultimate keeper went to a lot of trouble to trace and retain this history. In our opinion a sound investment that is well worth a look....
The valuable registration number 36 NOU is included in the sale....
