Constructed in the late spring of 1963 this LHD roadster was delivered directly from the factory to its first owner, a US Airforce officer named J Fellows, as a Personal Export Delivery vehicle. As is usual with such cars the E-type was first registered with a Coventry number (5089WK) and the original UK buff log book records the first owner as Jaguar Cars Limited, with Fellows recorded as the second. From the extensive history file that accompanies the car it is apparent that Fellows was stationed near Hamburg, Germany, and that he kept the car for the duration of his European posting before taking it back to the US when he was repatriated. The first change of private ownership occurred a few years later when the E-Type was sold to a Mr Bob Daly in 1967 who was based in California. Daly retained the car for almost 40 years and the car only left the Daly family this summer when it was exported to the UK and acquired by JD Classics. During Daly's ownership the car was lovingly maintained and today it remains in very good and highly original condition with all numbers matching the factory build sheet. As Daly himself recorded during his period of ownership the car had only had one re-paint (in its correct Carmen Red) and the interior was completely original with the exception of the seats which had been recovered in the correct Black leather. As one would expect for such a low ownership car that has been cherished for its entire life it is accompanied by an excellent history file including the original UK log book, original Bill of Sale and Jaguar Warranty card. In addition there are a multitude of invoices, articles and a maintenance log kept by Mr Daly. The car also benefits from its original jack, tool kit, service manuals and the Black California license plate. Finding cars with such provenance is increasingly rare and this example offers a fantastic opportunity to acquire a highly original and desirable Series 1 E-type roadster that could be enjoyed 'as is' or would be an ideal candidate for a light restoration and programme of upgrading to JD Sport specification.
