1974 JAGUAR E-TYPE

A very late production, UK supplied, E-type V12 OTS, resplendent in its’ original colour combination of Signal Red with a Biscuit leather interior and a black soft top.

Accompanying the vehicle is a comprehensive history portfolio, to include a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, confirming a dispatch date of 29th March 1974 with the vehicle destined for Henly’s in Manchester. Registration to its first owner occurred in August of the same year.

With just six former keepers in fifty-four years, RJA 400N was to remain with one owner between the years of 2006 and 2022 during which time care and attention was primarily entrusted to marque specialists P&K Thornton in Nottingham. During this period, a sum totalling in excess of £60,000 was invested in both the mechanical and cosmetic wellbeing of the vehicle with the benefits of this investment still very much in evidence today. The more significant work undertaken during this period includes…

The above is purely a snapshot of major work undertaken with much more besides, demonstrating a ‘little and often’ approach on a ‘no-expense-spared’ basis.

Whilst in the current owners care a further health check and service has been undertaken to ensure that the vehicle remains in a tip-top mechanical condition.

Driven sixty miles to South Norfolk, I can confirm that RJA 400N remains in very fine fettle and is ready to enjoy. I have undertaken an HPI check which shows no adverse information and a copy is on file for the benefit of the next owner. Also contained within the file are various insurance valuations, ranging from £47,500 in 2009 to £86,000 in 2017, demonstrating the remarkable value at the asking price today.
