A 1971 Jaguar E-type Series III originally owned by George Best is going under the hammer with H&H on 14 October in Duxford – its estimate is £40,000-£60,000.

The football legend owned the E-type for three years and it was the last car he used while at Manchester United, famously using it to leave Old Trafford, after an argument with manager Tommy Docherty. He then sold the car in 1974. 

H&H sales director Damian Jones said: ‘George owned three E-types. One is owned by Eagle, one has not been taxed for 30 years, and there’s this one.’
