The paint finish and bodywork are magnificent, with a uniform deep gloss shine throughout, perfect factory panel fit, shut lines and gaps. The underside finish is equally as impressive as the top... Simply outstanding.

Summary
The E-Type’s impact on the motoring world when it was first unveiled is now the stuff of legend, and for many enthusiasts, the early examples remain the most coveted and desirable of all.
The Jaguar Heritage Certificate documents this E-Type Roadster was originally built on 6th August 1964 as a UK home market vehicle, chassis number 850940, finished in Golden Sand Metallic with a black soft top, red interior, manual transmission, and dispatched to authorised Jaguar Dealers Henleys of London on 29th August 1964, she also retains her original issued registration number.
Notably this was the penultimate Series 1 Jaguar E-Type Roadster ever made and confirmed in writing by the Communications and Public Affairs Director at Jaguar Cars Limited.
The comprehensive history file documents a wealth of invoices for restoration, parts, and maintenance dating back to the 1980's, a copy of first registration documentation, just 5 previous owners from new, each recorded on a timeline plus an original sales receipt for £985 from Anthony Wolfe Motors, Northholt, Middlesex to the second keeper Mr D. Cullen dated 31st January 1968, who part exchanged his Renault Floride for £300 against it, Jaguar Heritage certificate, and past MOT certificates.
In September 2014 the car was sold to Mr S. Dorey, Saint Saviour, Jersey, where it resided until returning back to the UK in February 2021.
In excess of £50,000 has been lavished on this gorgeous Roadster between September 2021 and August 2026, with comprehensive supporting documentation recording the work undertaken. This significant investment has brought this exceptional, last but one every produced Jaguar E-Type Series 1 Roadster to the outstanding, show-standard condition in which it presents today.
Taxation Class: Historic Vehicle - Zero road tax, MOT and ULEZ exempt.
For peace of mind, a fresh 12 month MOT will be completed upon sale.
The HPi reports states that in September 1997, 29 years ago the car was a CAT C write off and the insurance company decided it was uneconomical to repair. The history file does not document any of this but does document that the owner from 1992 to July 1997 lavished thousands of pounds on servicing and maintenance plus enjoyed many European trips to France and Switzerland. Today the car as you can see is in impeccable order.
