Does anyone know of this E-Type?
Discussion
Around 10 years ago when I was 6, my dad sold his beloved S1 E-Type 4.2 I6 S1 Roadster. It was a beautiful Ice Blue Colour, with Red Leather. It was used for many press shoots, such as Robbie Williams' 1st album and other ads. The reg no is KEG10E, and it looks like this

You could try search on
http://www.xkedata.com (in the US E-Types were known as the XKE)
They are trying to list all known E-Types left.
You could also try asking in the E-Type forum on

I've always found them to be a really friendly group.
If you knew the chassis number it would be much easier. Do you or your father have any more details.
If the car was in good condition 10 years ago then the chances are it's still around.

Holy thread resurrection etc. but I’ve finally got an answer to the thread title. r56_ollie was my old account, so I am the OP under a different account.
The car turned up at JD Classics sometime in late 2013 or 2014, I can’t really remember. Derek from JD invited my folks and I to go and have a look, and wow did she look the part A few minor upgrades, but essentially a very well sorted and beautifully restored E-Type. Pics from the ad;
It took a bit of time to sell, and I thought that was the end of that. However the old man took his XJR-s in for an MOT, and on the table was an old edition of Jaguar World, and lo and behold what was on the front cover?!
It’s now in America where the new owner has converted it to LHD, added fuel injection and installed some high-backed blue leather seats. I’ve yet to read the article, but I’ve found some pictures online of the new work.
I’m not sold on the upgrades personally, but I am happy that it’s out somewhere giving someone some serious fun, great to see it being used If the new owner is reading this, get in touch because we'd love to share some of the experiences and trips that this car has had in the past.
