Description

For the first time in 60 years, the famous ‘2 BBC’ FHC Competition E-type is publicly available.

Race-prepared for Jaguar racer and dealer Robin Sturgess, the car would take the 1962 British racing season by storm, beating many of the great names in the latest Aston Martin DB4GT Zagatos, and Ferraris 250SWB and GTOs. In 1962 alone, Sturgess and '2 BBC' came home with 12 victories and 10 further podiums – a record surely not matched by any other top-flight GT car of the period in a single year.

Today the car is race-ready and a potential winner in pre-63 or the Kinrara Trophy, and complete with its original engine and close-ratio gearbox in the spares package. Very rarely does such a successful and significant early specification competition E-type come to market.
