Description
KEY FACTS This Jaguar E-Type Series 1 ‘Flat Floor’ Roadster is a concours-quality example of the sought-after classic British sports car, offered with the desirable first-year specification, and benefitting from a meticulous restoration.

This E-Type was completed in December 1961 and registered in the UK to its first owner in January 1962.
The seller acquired the car in May 2017.
