1959 E-Type Replica Mk 1 - Barons Friday 20th September 2019 For Sale by Auction

This is a really unique car in more ways than one… REGISTERED 1959 Jaguar E-Type with a 3. 5 ltr V8 Rover engine, R. H. D. with 5 speed manual gear box, giving approx. 36mpg @ 65mph. With new (well fitting) soft top, recently fitted interior, new tyres, on powder coated wheels with white wall trims. In good overall condition but some work needed for perfection. New classic style radio/ tape with stereo speakers, new battery, new stainless steel exhaust boxes and tail pipes (sounds fantastic), there is no driver’s door key but it has an immobiliser and hidden fuel pump switch. It has a manual cooling fan and a white hard top which has never been fully fitted (soft top is far more practicable), new plugs/ leads and bullet style wing mirrors, paintwork is ok but chrome needs attention, it’s rust free having been manufactured in fibreglass by The Triple C Company in St. Austell, Cornwell. This makes the car one of the very first Challenger E Types made before the company moved to Boswells in the Border region of Scotland, changing its name to Challenger Cars / Developments. However what makes this car totally unique is the fact that this car is THE OLDEST REGISTERD E-TYPE IN THE WORLD - Registered as 1959 Jaguar E Type (see the log book picture). So how did a replica E Type manage this, basically it goes back to the original donor car which it would seem was a 1959 Black Rover 90 Reg 218 EKP. This registration number was changed in October 1993 to WVS 366 (this in a non-transferable number) and in Sep/ Oct 1995 the V8 engine was installed. Visual inspection carried out by the DVLA in 2005. Detailed historic document file included in sale. In the present owners care for over 13years. There is a very well established and active club dedicated to the CHALLENGER see: - - details above
