Somebody ag Jaguar's must have known what the garage proprietor fro Husbands Bosworth, Leichestershire, was going to do with his gleaming new coupe. He took delivery of CUT 7 with a production D type head and cams, triple 45 DCOE Weber carburetters and competition wide rim wire wheels. He was one of the first private customers to get an E type. ![]() Its chassis number was 860004, the fourth fixed head to be produced, and it would seem that Protheroe, who had campaigned an old XK in club racing for years, was held in high regard by the Works. It is believed to be the car that rolled off the production line to be registered CUT 7 by one Elmer Richard (Dick) Protheroe. The tale of 63 CJU, a grey-green fixed head coupe, is typical of the E types. This car is also mentioned in Chris Harvey's book "E type end of an Era" on page 44.
