Despatched to New York in September 1972, it returned to the UK in 2018 arriving at the well-known classic car dealers ‘Roman Garage’ of Grantham, Lincolnshire, where it remained for just a short while before passing into the hands of the present owner. Stroll around the Jaguar and gradually your attention is drawn to the apparent originality, take a look under the skin and the underside of the bonnet, look into the door shuts, at the interior trim and into the boot where all appears to be as it left the factory, remaining untouched and in superb condition. The, once not so desirable, external colour of Sable somehow now appears to fit the bill, even more so when the accompanying hard top is in place, giving the Jaguar a certain nostalgic appeal, even the automatic gearbox ticks the boxes and adds to the feel of a gentle Grand Tourer. Subtle upgrades including a stainless steel exhaust and Gaz coil-over shock absorbers suggest interested and caring ownership. With recent works completed by the renowned Jaguar E-Type specialists, Butlin & Sons, the Jaguar has clearly been exceptionally well-cared for with no expense spared and maintenance carried out as and when required, not only under present ownership, but from the overall condition since it rolled off the production line in 1972. Your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to fully appreciate the overall quality of this remarkable Jaguar, to find an example that has so much originality still in place is a rare find indeed and, as they say, ‘it’s only original once’.
