Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Flat floor, external bonnet latches, period radio, silver painted wire wheels, tool kit. One of the first 50 E types reserved for dealer demos, this one by Henlys. Restored in 1989, 8,500 miles since and still nearly like new, very presentable.

Market commentary

For all its features, quality restoration thats been proved in plenty of miles and early demo history this E type brought 50% more than itd have attracted in the US. The value can only be attributed to the right side placement of the steering wheel, UK demo history and enthusiasm of a British Jaguar enthusiast and shows at least the value of chauvinism.
