Few cars define 1960s motoring quite like the Jaguar E-Type, and early 3.8-litre Fixed Head Coupés such as this remain among the most sought-after of the breed.
Combining Malcolm Sayer’s unmistakable design with Jaguar’s advanced engineering of the period, the E-Type offered genuine 150mph performance and remains an enduring icon today.
This particular example is an early UK-supplied, right-hand drive car, finished in Opalescent Silver Blue, a colour that so perfectly complements the model’s flowing lines.
Offered from within the same family for a number of years, this much loved Jaguar has been passed from father to son and is understood to have been used and enjoyed regularly.
That continuity of ownership is reflected in the accompanying history, which includes a charming collection of period family photographs showing the car as part of family life over the decades, alongside Polaroid images documenting its restoration, believed to have taken place over 30 years ago.
