The legendary Jaguar E driven by British star Rowan Atkinson in the series Man vs. Bee will be featured in a special auction in the United Kingdom, capturing the attention of classic car enthusiasts.

Organized by Iconic Auctioneers, the auction is set for November 8, with no starting price listed, leaving the market to determine its final value. Given its unique history and connection to the famous British actor, the car is expected to fetch over one million dollars.

Debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in 1961

The car, with chassis number #2 and registration plate 9600 HP, is among the earliest Jaguar E-Types displayed at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show.

After spending time in the United States, the car returned to the UK in 1989 for a comprehensive restoration that preserved its classic charm while adding modern touches, including:

• Converting the steering wheel back to the right side as originally launched.

• Repainting in glossy Opalescent Gunmetal Grey.

• Refurbishing the interior with new seats and carpeting.

• Installing a modern SS exhaust system without altering the original engine.

The car also played a prominent role in the comedic series, serving as the companion of Atkinson’s character, Trevor Bingley, in his whimsical encounter with a bee, cementing its status as an iconic fusion of cinematic history and classic automotive design.
