This original right-hand-drive 1962 E-Type FHC was built by Valley Motorsport in recent years to compete in current period ‘E’ FIA competition, including pre-63 GT.

The car competed in only 3 races before passing to it’s present owner, who has had it prepared and run by CKL. The first of those three races was at the Castle Combe Autumn Classic in 2019, where it finished first overall in the Norman Dewis Trophy for pre-’66 Jaguars, driven by Alex Buncombe. The car’s next outing was at the 60th Anniversary E-Type Challenge race at the 2021 Silverstone Classic, where the car came first in class - again driven by Alex Buncombe. The car’s third outing was the 2021 Goodwood Revival, where it was driven in the Stirling Moss Trophy by Jenson Button and co-driven by Alex Buncombe. A delay in qualifying resulted in a P19 grid position and therefore denied them the debut result that they deserved, although they managed to fight their way up to P7 in the race, the third Jaguar E-Type to take the flag.

The car has run in three races with its present custodian and undergone continued maintenance with CKL. It is ready for it’s next owner to enjoy.
