**This car was built from parts left over at Browns Lane when the factory closed in 1974. The parts were purchased by Mike Wikinson (M.+ C. Wilkinson - Jaguar spares) who passed them on to Roy Parrot who finished building the car in 2005.
Despite the build date it was recognised by the DVLA as a true E type, and given the chassis number 1S2873 in line with the numbers of the original production run, and a period registration number DNP 399 N.
And as such is the last E Type built
