A special red 1965 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 4.2 liter Roadster that belonged to Sir Elton John is for sale and will be auctioned off at Bonhams Oxford on March 3rd 2012. The unique and historical sports car is one of the highlights of the Collectors’ Motor Cars and Automobilia sale.
Sir Elton bought the car in 1987. According to his fleet manager, Sir Elton and his staff referred to the E-Type as ‘OK Elton’ due to its number plate OKE 1, which was worn throughout his ownership and is sold with the car. The estimated sales price will be £ 50,000-70,000.
