We present to you this Jaguar E-Type Series 1, in superb condition. It left the Jaguar factory on 31 May 1962, just a few weeks after the end of the "flat floor" series, and was completely restored around ten years ago.
Often described as "the most beautiful of Jaguars", this Series 1 E-type is also one of the most sought-after, thanks to its pure lines, aluminium dashboard, bucket seats and the racy handling of its in-line 6.
The Jaguar Heritage certificate confirms that this car is chassis/engine/head/colour matched (exterior and interior).
Chassis
On deck, the frame rails, engine mount (Eiffel Tower), wheel arches and floorboards are all in excellent condition. The original brakes have been replaced by "Coopercraft" brakes, significantly improving on the original "retarder". The shock absorbers are new.
Engine & transmission
Oil pressure is within the manufacturer's recommendations, both hot and cold. The engine revs well with a characteristic noise and has a stable idle, without overheating. Starting is easy, both hot and cold. The previous owner had a fully synchronised 4.2-litre gearbox fitted for easier driving. The original Moss gearbox is supplied with the car.
Bodywork
The car's exterior is in very good condition, despite some minor scratches from use. The chromework is very attractive, as are the spoked wheels and central butterfly valve.
Interior
The interior of this car is in excellent condition. The cartier red seats and door panels retain a superb patina. The boot carpet is in keeping with the vehicle's year.
Possible takeover Porsche 930.

Now in its sixties, the car that Enzo Ferrari considered the most beautiful car in the world continues to fascinate - particularly in this first version, undoubtedly the purest, aesthetically speaking, of a series that lasted until the mid-70s. Thanks to the talent of Malcolm Sayer, the firm's historic designer who also signed the Type C and Type D, the car caused a sensation from its first appearance at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, provoking an even greater shock than the XK 120 thirteen years earlier. Powered by the legendary 3.8-liter XK engine, the rigged "E Type" could reach an unprecedented 240 km/h, bringing the Jaguar coupé into the vicinity of much more expensive rivals, from Ferrari to Aston Martin. This is still true today, when it's possible to acquire an attractive example like the one offered for sale at very attractive conditions!
