JAGUAR LIGHTWEIGHT E-TYPE SELLS AT AMELIA ISLAND

The 1963 Ex-Qvale Jaguar Lightweight E-type (S850660) has successfully sold at the RM Auction at Amelia Island in Florida on Saturday 8 March 2003.

This extremely original car, which was found some five years ago in a Los Angeles garage where had been stored for 35 years, was the centre of much interest during the auction event.

There was naturally a great deal of interest in this extremely important competition Jaguar and the bidding was intense. The final hammer sale price for the car was US$ 1.25million.

The new US owner, who has a significant Jaguar collection, plans to show and campaign the car in selected North American events later this year.
