1974 JAGUAR E-TYPE

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers at The Classic Sale at CarFest 2026 - Saturday on Saturday the 29th of August, The Wing, Silverstone Circuit, NN12 8TN. The price indicated is the lower auction estimate.

Supplied new by Henlys of London on 03/05/1974, this original UK-market, right-hand drive, Series 3 Roadster is powered by Jaguar's magnificent 5.3-litre V12 and, importantly, is equipped with the desirable manual gearbox

Purchased new through his company by the gentleman who remains the current registered keeper, and subsequently transferred into his personal name for private use in December 1976. Remarkably, the V5C records just one former registered keeper

Indicating just 32,804 miles at the time of cataloguing, service books containing 31 service stamps, together with the Operations and Service Handbook, Sales and Service Facilities in the United Kingdom handbook

Finished in its delightful factory colour of Lavender Blue, representing Jaguar's push into bold, unconventional 1970s colours alongside shades like Greensand and Turquoise. Because it was highly polarising at launch, few buyers ordered it, making original Lavender -painted E-Types incredibly rare and highly sought after by collectors today

With its rare factory colour, desirable manual gearbox, exceptionally low indicated mileage and enviable registration history, this is a particularly special example of Jaguar's final generation of its worldwide poster car
