Sellers comment:
You are bidding on a rare 1963 Jaguar XKE roadster with a 6 cyl. 3.8L DOHC 3 carb, 4 speed man. Trans. 4 wheel disc brakes. It has 75 000 original miles, the car has been stored for almost 25 years. It is in great mechanical shape, but it does need some work the interior needs to be reinstalled, I do have all the peices. There is no rust on the car but it does need a fresh coat of paint. I am setting the reserve for $40 000, due to the fact that the car is not mine I am not able to negotiate, the car is well worth the money a restored car is worth nearly 90 000 american, plus I have been told that there are only about 6 in Canada.

If this is car #875209, then it must be a 1961 production, possibly June or July, as my car #875343 was produced on Aug. 17, 1961.

This 1961 Jaguar E-type 3.8 is an outstanding example of an original and hugely collectable 'outside bonnet lock', flat floor roadster. Further benefitting from lefthand drive and manual transmission specification, this car has been fastidiously restored to better than new standard by recognised Italian restorers, Classic Motorsport of Rome.

Finished in preferred colour scheme of Green body colour, polished brightwork and period Tan leather, this ready to drive roadster is hotly anticipated ahead of its sale on 23rd July at Silverstone Race Circuit.

This 'outside bonnet lock' is chassis number 875209, expatriated from the long-term ownership of one Mario Calitri of Ontario, Canada by a Warwickshire based businessman in June 2004. The car was then sold to the current vendor, a successful Italian entrepreneur, who included the car in his enviable car collection before undertaking the fastidious restoration in Rome.

The work was carried out over the next 5 years only recently having been completed to faithful factory specification by its dedicated owner. There is a photographic record of the entire painstaking process with the history file of this car.
It is now presented in outstanding order throughout following its thorough and professional restoration process. The engine of this matching numbers car is reported to run well and reports oil pressures and throttle response as you would expect.

This is a fantastic and rare opportunity to purchase one of the earliest Jaguar E-Types during the official celebrations of the 50th Anniversary of the Jaguar E-Type at the Silverstone Classic.

1961 Jaguar E-Type Series I Roadster

Estimate €200,000 - €300,000

Artcurial - Collection Thierry Dehaeck, Paris, France 5 February, 2027

Lot 23

Belgian title

Chassis no. 875209 Engine no. R1325-9

- One of the very first E-Types built

- Outside bonnet lock, flat floor, bonnet louvres welded on

- High-quality restoration

- Original engine

According to its certificate of authenticity from the Jaguar Heritage Trust, it came off the production line on 12 July 1961, finished in ‘Opalescent Dark Green’ with beige leather upholstery, and was supplied to Dr. H. Allan Burnett by Jaguar of Eastern Canada in Montreal. Its second owner was Mario Calitri, in Toronto, and its history file includes a registration certificate dated 12 February 1990. On 4 July 2004, it was imported into the UK by the specialist R.I. Johnson, the owner of Chapel End Cars, who sold it on 3 January 2005 to F. Giardina, an Italian diplomat living in Luxembourg. In 2011, Giardina had a complete restoration of the car carried out, with no expense spared. A file of some 200 photographs shows the extent of the work undertaken. This is what appealed to Thierry Dehaeck, who bought it on 13 November 2015 through the company AD Sportscars in Brussels, owned by Amaury de la Croix d'Ogimont. Since then, the car has been displayed at the Autoworld museum in Brussels, at the Auto Classics show in Bruges and at Antwerp Collection Cars, where it attracted much attention from visitors.

Today, this exceptional E-Type is in immaculate condition. Its paintwork, in its original colour, is utterly beautiful, while the tobacco-brown leather upholstery invites you to set off on a trip. Like the other cars in the collection, it comes with historical documents such as catalogues and photographs, as well as the Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate mentioned above, a FIVA ID card and various other documents.

As one of the very rare ‘OBL’ (Outside Bonnet Lock) versions, this E-Type is among the first cars built, and its condition does justice to its historical importance. As well as being able to be driven for any rally or meeting, it is therefore clearly set apart from other E-Types, opening the door for it to the most prestigious events and concours.
