Fully Restored Concours Condition Series 1 E-Type

This stunning example of Jaguar's sporting heritage is an outstanding road car that runs as well as it looks and features all of the Series 1 attributes that made the E-Type a special car. It has undergone a full rotisserie restoration that has returned it to factory new condition. It has been driven just 800 miles since and presents today just as it did when new. All paint, chrome, interior, and mechanicals are in excellent condition.

Sellers description:
This is one of the finest E Types we've seen. Dispatched from Coventry on January 8, 1963, chassis 878834 has undergone a complete ground up nut & bolt restoration, by a Pebble Beach multiple award winning restoration shop. This was not a car done for a customer, this was a car built for the owner of the shop for his own personal use, and as such it is simply stunning. Originally finished in cream over red leather, the restorer wanted the car to stand out from the myriad of E Types out there, and chose to restore the car in one Jaguar's prettiest, correct, but seldom seen combination of Opalescent Dark Blue with grey leather. The build is set off by wide whitewall tires, as often fitted to early E Types when new, but rarely seen today. The interior is fabulous, and the level of detail continues, down to the correct shift knob and original radio. The Stayfast top has never been lowered. Of course the car retains its original matching number engine, which is detailed to better than new standards. The boot contains the proper jack and original tool set, and included with the sale is the Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate.

The quality to which this car was restored unquestionably shows the level of detail and finesse a Pebble Beach restorer would put into any one of their builds. This car is exquisite in every way and is ready to shown or driven.

$250,000
