45 classic cars go under the hammer at COYS Spring Classics 2016 auction at the Royal Horticultural Society in London on March 8th

One of the star lots is a 1963 Jaguar E-Type that has was found under a hedge in the village of Bisley in Surrey that was once owned by Ivor Arbiter, famous for designing the famous  sixties music scene ‘drop – T’ logo for The Beatles.

Coys valuer James Good said about the car: “This wonderful Series 1, 3.8 E-Type is in original condition, with matching numbers and has never been restored. It retains all the features it carried in 1969 and is possibly one of the most original examples remaining today”.
