Jaguar E-Type 3.8 'Outside Bonnet Lock' Roadster, Chassis No 39 is one of the earliest E-Types produced and has been in long term ownership, in fact some 45 years, dry-stored until the opportunity arose to breathe new life into one of the most desirable Jaguars produced. Every component has received the attention of those craftsmen involved with the rebirth of ‘ENO 39’ and your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to see the fruits of their labours. Resplendent in its original shade of Opalescent Dark Blue with its Blood Red Hide, this imposing big cat has all the early-production build details that set these 'outside bonnet lock' cars aside from the later more mainstream production cars with a large amount of individual components in place that provide the individuality that they have become well known for. The fit and finish is outstanding throughout and the car is restoration fresh with only settling in miles covered, so a period of running in is suggested to achieve the best from this beautifully rebuilt Jaguar. A rare opportunity to acquire what must surely be the 'Holy Grail' of E-Types and one that has been restored to within an inch of its life.
