This is the 3rd of a total of only 1172 RHD - S2 Fixed Head Coupe E Type's to be built by Jaguar Cars.
Leaving the Browns Lane Factory in October 1968 and purchased by Arnold Burton of the Burton Clothing
Empire family.
Arnold who was a great motoring and racing fan heard rumours of Jaguar developing a V12 engine and ordered the car before the spec was finalised.
He was disappointed when the car arrived with the trusty 4. 2 litre straight six and soon sold it to his brother Stanley, who kept it for a
reasonable period of time.
The car was exported to Jersey in the 1974 and returned to the UK in December 1984.
It was then bought at a Sotheby's auction by Digby Hulme, a motoring enthusiast who kept it for over 25 years.
In the mid 90s a comprehensive nut and bolt restoration at a cost of £75, 000 was carried out by Vintage Carriage Company of whom one of the directors of this company was Murray Walker the F1 commentator.
A 5 speed Getrag gearbox was fitted at this time, which is believed to have been the first Jaguar E Type to have been fitted with this upgrade.
Last sold by ourselves in 2013 and finished in BRG with Tan interior and a large history file, this great driving very early RHD - S2 Fixed Head Coupe is offered for at £69, 995,
