Through Jaguar's storied history, few tales are as captivating as that of the competition E-Types, the first of these #S850006 being delivered to none other than the Coombs Racing Team. That car became the basis of 17 competition E-Types from Jaguar thereafter, showing its importance and the car on offer here was built as a faithful tribute to #850006.

The registration number is even appropriate, #S850006 wearing 4 WPD and this car is 9 WPD. Using a UK-supplied right-hand drive 1973 Series 3 as a basis to work from, the specification is impressive with a 6.1-litre, quad-cam V12 engine mated to a 5-speed Getrag gearbox. The sellers informs us that 'you can feel its power unlike most other road cars. The precision of its gearbox, the responsiveness of its engine and the aerodynamic enhancements all work in concert to create a drive that's as thrilling as it is smooth and controllable.

Some of the best names in the business have had an input in this unique Jaguar including Building the Legend who are known for their 'quad-cam' engines and XJ 13 reps, Jaguar Racing Panels who were responsible for the bodywork and G B Trimming who created the cars distinctive interior.
