This genuine, UK supplied right hand drive Jaguar E-Type Series 1 3.8 Roadster is the sought after early flat floor example . Originally supplied in Leeds to it's first owner in Halifax, the car soon made it's way south and remained in the London area until the late 80's, when it returned north to Cheshire. It appears to have remained virtually unused from that time until now, and the MOT's support the limited use. An extensive hand written list of parts is supplied with the history, indicating that the car underwent extensive refurbishment during the 90's. The engine also benefitted from a rebuild at around the same time.

The car has had a fresh coat of paint in our coachworks, and now looks stunning. We have also refreshed the interior and added a new hood, as the car was originally supplied with a factory hardtop. Complete with a history file which appears to confirm the low mileage, this car will undergo a full service, roadtest and report plus a fresh MOT by our workshop prior to sale and is ideally suited to sympathetic upgrades.

Currently undergoing final recommissioning in our workshop.

Originally distributed through Jaguar Leeds in 1961 to H. Crossley & Son Ltd. in Halifax, it appears to have been well used until, sometime later, a comprehensive restoration took place involving six full pages of parts used alone. 1993 saw a full engine rebuild whilst in 1997, a brake master cylinder and servo rebuild took place. Fast forward to 2014 and further works are detailed including the renewal of seals, rubbers and hoses, clutch/brake reservoirs, brake pads front and rear and a distributer kit, coil and leads. As recently as April last year, both doors have been stripped back and the door handles and catches have been re-set. This includes striker catches and new brackets for the boot. Also undertaken was a MoT test certificate and service including tuning the carburettors. Sitting on chrome wire wheels, the overall condition is very good, made all the more striking by the addition of a period hard-top. The soft-top has recently been replaced and a new service and MoT test certificate has been issued. Old English White with a contrasting blue leather interior is a great combination and sets off its lines beautifully. Is it the most beautiful car in the world? As a flat-floor roadster with this colour scheme, yes I think it is.
