H&H are once again delighted to be auctioning a very special E Type Jaguar, which by employing a 1964 S1 3.8 coupe as the donor car and a brand new body with a raft of new componentry has resulted in the truly stunning machine you see today.

A very limited edition run of such Historic Motor Sport ready Jags were produced by the E Type Race Company.
