Barons’ Jaguar Heritage, Classic and Sports Car Sale at Sandown Park, Surrey on April 27th celebrates the 75th anniversary of Jaguar. The entry list already includes several very desirable examples, including a 1933 Jaguar SS1 coupé, a stunning, rare 1958 XK150SE DHC auto and some glorious E-types, including a 1973 Series 3 roadster by Vicarage.
The 1933 SS1 coupé is one of just 1099 produced. Finished in its original coffee and cream colours, it is fitted with its original – and very rare – R.A.G carburettor, all original running gear and the original wipers driven from the gearbox. The car has been repatriated after spending many years in Australia and is offered in good condition, having been restored some years ago. Estimate: £70,000-90,000.
The 1958 Jaguar XK150SE DHC auto was originally delivered to John Bloom as a present from his business partner Mr Barry Humpman. The pair became household names in Britain in the 1950s and early ’60s by marketing washing machines – gaining over 10% of the UK market share. The car was subsequently owned by Bentley specialist Stanley Mann. In recent years it has been completely rebuilt, including a bare metal respray, engine and transmission rebuild, a full re-trim in high quality Connolly red leather with black piping and a new mohair hood. The car has lived in Cyprus since 2008 and was shipped back to the UK in February this year. It has covered only 24,250 miles in its lifetime – and just 100 miles since 2008. Estimate: £60,000-£70,000.
Early entries for the sale also include three excellent variants of the ever-popular Jaguar E-type. The primrose yellow 1973 S3 V12 Vicarage roadster is in mint condition, (estimate £78,000-£85,000). Earlier E-types are represented by a sleek, black 1962 S1 3.8 fixed-head coupé, a left-hand-drive car which spent the first 36 years of its life in California. It has been meticulously restored and carries an estimate of £28,000-£34,000. And the sale also includes a later Series One E-type – a 1968 Series 11/2, to be precise – which has covered 38,800 miles from new. It is offered complete with an extensive file of bills relating to the restoration and various upgrades incorporated during the rebuild, which includes tuning by TAG Racing team mechanic (estimate £26,000-£29,000).
