In January of 2025 Provision House were left this valuable 1963 E-type Jaguar in the will of Mr. Maurice Pope. Maurice’s expressed wish was that Provision House develop a Dudley based community project to benefit local people through involvement in the car’s restoration.

Thanks to a collaboration between Provision House and Dudley College, we have been provided with a workshop at the Black Country & Marches Institute of Technology. In return the collages automotive students will receive valuable work experience as they assist with the restoration.

The project also offers the wider community of Dudley a unique opportunity to work on an iconic piece of motoring history. In doing so it will impart new skills, increasing their employability, boost self confidence and improve their mental health.

Finally, the car will be sold in order to fund ongoing Dudley community projects.
