Chassis No. 15 was the fifteenth right hand drive fixed head coupe E-Type to leave Jaguar’s production line in 1961 and was used as a press car at the Scottish Motor Show held at the Kelvin Hall, Glasgow, in November that year.
“We found Chassis No. 15 at the end of last year in Cernay, a town close to the border with Germany about two hours away from Paris. It had been owned by the same person since 1976, who dismantled it probably some twenty years ago and that is as far as he got.
“Unfortunately, the car was left unattended in a barn until we found it, very rusty and corroded – there was even a bird’s nest in the rear quarter! This will be a full nut and bolt CMC restoration, covering every aspect of the car. It will be quite a challenge but we are looking forward to it.”
E-Type Chassis 15, the car that turned heads at the 1961 Scottish Motor Show, underwent a full nut and bolt restoration at CMC after being found in a sorry state in a barn in France. Exactly 2,956hrs were spent restoring every nut and bolt of this E-Type at CMC’s modern workshops in Bridgnorth, saving as much of the original car as possible and bringing back its show-stopping condition.
The car is still being used regularly, its current owner displaying her at Concours whilst also driving her to the track for his weekends racing! It really doesn’t get much better than that.
