This E-Type Roadster was the last car in the 'first batch' of production E-Types. It was delivered to Briggs Cunningham as his personal car while racing his two other E-Types in Europe in 1961. Briggs drove this E-Type to Le Mans where he and Walt Hansgen participated in the 24 Hours race. The E-Type was acquired in 1973 by Jaguar expert and author Dr. Thomas Haddock, who kept the car in permanent storage, showing it once briefly at the Henry Ford Museum. In his 46 years of ownership, Haddock drove the car just 752 miles and preserved it meticulously, never being tempted to 'improve' it in any way and using it as a marker and guide for his book Jaguar E-Type Six Cylinder Originality Guide, considered the absolute bible for originality reference. Dr. Christian J. Jenny acquired the car from Dr. Haddock in 2019, and it was all original with 54,275 miles on the odometer.
