1966 E Type OTS

[Philip Latham]

Hi , I have recently purchased a 1966 e type roadster, the vehicles original number plate in 1966 was AGG7

the vehicle was re registered in 1999

and on the original log books from that time it declares no previous owners. 
I can only think that the vehicle was exported in 1966 and brought back into the U.K. in 1999. The original dealer was Newlands in Mitchum Surrey, I will contact them to see if they have any information. The Jaguar Heritage certificate no is 15219 and everything checks out regarding serial numbers etc. 

I would really appreciate if anyone could tell me how to trace this missing information ??

Cheers Philip

Hi Philip, the onset of the GDPR legislation means it is very difficult to obtain historic information of a personal nature.

The registration number of AGG 7 is most likely a personal / cherished plate as date related plates were already in use by DVLA at that time. The number assigned in 1999 is most likely its original assigned number that was never issued on a plate as the personal plate was retrieved from the car.

Have you tried looking up the MoT history at DVLA? This may provide some clues as to where the car was located during its lifetime - try searching using both numbers.

The Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust may be able to fill in some background for the car. An email to them with as much information as possible may bear some more details.
