Very rusty. Car has been sitting around for probably 30 years. It came out of West Virginia. It is very complete, but rusty.

Very nice job! It's always great to see another E-Type brought back from potential extinction.

This is actually one of the first INSIDE lock cars as you can see from the photos it was never fitted with the outside lock from the factory. None the less a beautiful restoration.

Registration 465 YUY Chassis Number 875339 Engine Number R1495-9 Odometer reading 278 miles Estimate £180,000 - £210,000

Rare, early outside bonnet lock model

Original Lefthand drive matching numbers car

Complete ground up restoration in USA

This excellent 1961 Jaguar E-Type Series I Roadster is one of the first 500 E-Types produced, all of which were fitted with external bonnets. This matching numbers car was supplied new to the USA and originally presented in Opalescent Green. Number 339 of 385 cars built with left hand drive steering, this Jaguar was rescued in 2008/9 after being stored in a barn, believed to be in West Virginia, for over thirty years. The car was subject to a complete ‘ground-up’ rebuild and restoration which was completed in 2012. It was then shipped to Europe before being purchased and imported to the UK in October 2013 with 247 miles on the odometer. When the car was restored in the USA the colour was changed to Carmen Red, the interior retrimmed with black leather and it was fitted with a black soft top. This excellent and rare E-Type is supplied with a UK V5C registration document. Being the 339th left hand drive E-Type manufactured, this is a very rare opportunity to purchase a stunning example of the ‘Holy Grail’ of E-Types and one of the most desirable British icons available today.
