Sellers comment:
1961 Jaguar E-Type Roadster Convertible
The first series of the E-type Jaguars to be produced with the flat floor design and exterior side latches for the bonnet, serial #356.

This car has had one-owner. With 41,000 original miles and one repaint since new. This white with burgundy interior convertible is the most collectible of the E-type Jaguars as well as the rarest of the 13-year production.

The 3.8 litre inline, 6-cylinder, dual overhead camshafts, triple carburetion engine produces 265 horsepower. It's 4-speed transmission, 4 wheel disc brakes and 4 wheel independent suspension make this car fun to drive.

In 1973 I purchased this car in Anchorage Alaska; I still own it.
Over the last 38 years I have extensively modified this car into a High performance show car.

Your notes below state the pictures are car #356. Car #875356 is posted correctly with the same pictures.
I will be posting pictures of my car #875365 in the near future.
I hope the error will be corrected first.

I don't like it either. However, it is the decission of the owner and if it matches his taste, I have to accept this....

And I fear, that the early engine will not return to its origin Destination.
