ENTRIES INVITED FOR BARONS’ JAGUAR HERITAGE, CLASSIC AND SPORTS CARS SALE - SANDOWN PARK, SEPTEMBER 20th

ENTRIES INVITED FOR BARONS’ JAGUAR HERITAGE, CLASSIC AND SPORTS CARS SALE - SANDOWN PARK, SEPTEMBER 20th

Entries are invited for Barons’ annual Jaguar Heritage, Classic and Sports Cars sale, at Sandown Park racecourse on Friday, September 20.

Early Jaguar entries already consigned include an absolutely immaculate and hugely collectable Opalescent silver-grey 1965 E-type Series 1 FHC with Webasto sliding roof. It has been subject to a well-documented professional restoration costing some £60,000 and including a bare metal respray. This stunning example of the most iconic 1960s sports car carries a guide price of £80,000-£95,000.

Non-Jaguar entries include a beautiful 1933 Alvis Firefly. This elegant pre-War British classic was fully restored many years ago and has been lovingly cared for ever since. The guide price for this stylish motor car is £40,000-£50,000.

One unusual early submission - and possibly not one for Jaguar purists but certainly one for lovers of head-turning cars - is the 1959 Challenger E-type replica Mk 1. This unique machine is one of the first-ever Challenger E-types, having been built in Cornwall in 1995 by the Triple C Company before the company moved to the Scottish borders and changed its name to Challenger. So why the 1959 date attribution? That comes from the donor car - a 1959 Rover 90 - and has resulted in the car’s logbook showing it as registered as a 1959 Jaguar E-type, making it the oldest registered ‘E-type’ in the world! In bright red with white hardtop and whitewall tyres, it’s certainly a looker and, with a guide price of £8,000-£12,000, it offers E-type looks combined with a 3.5-litre Rover V8 engine for a decidedly un-E-type price!
