rpcm ◊ 2007-04-04 21:07	I would say 1966 ( by the numberplate and also the first year of the 2+2 ) E-Type 4.2 Litre.

Cycolac Fan ◊ 2012-11-05 17:09	Anyone know the history of this car, where it was sourced or why it had odd red pinstriping down the sides?

A silver 2+2 in rough condition surfaced in 2011 with GPW 223D plates, auctioned at Coys Auction Ascot on 8 October 2011 with accompanying film pictures associating it as the Brannigan car. This silver semi-derelict was bought by a Scottish buyer who "painstakingly" restored it to black (without the red pinstripes), but apparently DVLA would not re-issue the GPW 223D registration despite his protracted attempts, so it received HAU 727D plates. HAU 727D was auctioned online on 7 March 2025 for a winning bid of £45,100, including a Jaguar Heritage Trust Production Record Trace Certificate but without any Brannigan reference in the listing. No idea about the 1975 pinstriping - maybe just a bit of fun by an early owner. I suspect 2 cars involved as I can't see how the upturned riverbed wreck in the film could have survived to become silver GPW 223D; however that may just be filming witchcraft with a substitute something, and the GPW 223D to HAU 727D link may well be genuine as claimed.
