This elegant coupé was bought 25 years ago by its current owner, a huge fan of the model and the roadster version which he also owned. As its Jaguar Heritage certificate confirms, it left the Coventry factory on 16th December 1963 and was shipped to Jaguar Cars in New York to be delivered to its owner on 24th January 1964. This precious document also reveals that the car was originally “cream” in colour with a black interior. When it was bought by our collector, it was already sporting its elegant British racing green paintwork, which was redone shortly afterwards. It has since undergone quite a bit of work, including restoration of the Moss gearbox by Classic Garage, and complete rewiring. In 2018, the red leather was beautifully reupholstered, and in 2024, the original engine, (number matching block), was completely overhauled as evidenced by a bill of almost €34,000 from Classic Garage. A Bluetooth radio was fitted at the time, which we tested, along with 4 new tyres. Regularly serviced and with its own discreet patina, this E-type starts every time and runs like clockwork. It also comes with a 2024 expert survey. Boasting the most elegant colours and having undergone regular maintenance, and some extensive work, this handsome coupe from the desirable 3.8L first Series, is ready to take to the road and thrill its future driver.
