DESCRIPTION

  • Finished in Opalescent Gunmetal Grey with red leather and a black hood
  • Gearbox, block and head numbers match the Heritage Certificate

  • Now UK registered and ready for another 60 years of motoring

Offered here is a superb Series 1 E-Type Open Two-Seater beautifully restored with excellent attention to detail. Our vendor informs us that it retains its original 3.8-litre engine and gearbox with numbers matching its Jaguar Heritage Certificate. Manufactured in July 1962 and supplied new to the USA, this stunning example has now been converted to right-hand drive and has been imported and correctly UK registered with a V5C on file.

The engine was sent to be checked and refreshed with a top-end overhaul carried out. The cam covers and triple SU carburettors have been freshly polished and the cylinder head was correctly painted. All fluids are fresh with engine, transmission and differential oil all replaced.

It’s classically presented in  Opalescent Gunmetal Grey with red leather upholstery, red carpets and a black hood. This lovely 3.8 has been subject to an older complete ground-up nut and bolt restoration and as such is now ready to offer another 60 years of enjoyable motoring.
