Description
KEY FACTS This Jaguar E-Type Series 1 ‘Flat Floor’ 3.8 Roadster is a sought-after and elegant classic British open-top sports car, which benefits from an extensive previous restoration.
Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 3.8-litre straight-six, fed by triple carburettors, which sends its power to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission.
This E-Type Series 1 was originally a US-delivered model, which was purchased by its second owner in 1962.
They kept the car for 20 years before it was acquired by the third owner, who kept it for an impressive 31 years.
After spending over 50 years in Texas, it was imported to the UK in 2013 before being treated to a ‘ground up’ restoration by marque specialist, Fullbridge Restorations in Essex.
An HPI check shows that the car was first registered with the DVLA in September 1973.
It was acquired by the seller in June 2015 The odometer indicates 21,801 miles, though this is not warranted.
