Del Boy and Rodney used the car for a trip to London's West End but ended up crashing.

First registered in Britain in November 1973, the E-Type is finished in Old English White, trimmed in blue leather and rides on period-correct chrome wire wheels.

The odometer currently shows 80,075 miles from new, and the seller reckons its V12 engine, automatic transmission, bodywork, paintwork and upholstery are all in ‘good’ order.

As well as its low mileage, the car has only had two owners from new.

But it's not just a car you're getting - the E-Type is accompanied by a host of TV-related memorabilia.

These include a number of videos, signed photographs and even a scale model of the Jaguar autographed by Del Boy (Sir David Jason) and Boycie (the late John Challis).
