1963 RHD E-type Series 1 3.8 litre FHC For Sale

What can one say about the E-type that has not already been said many times over? Its combination of beauty, high performance, and competitive pricing established the model as an icon of the motoring world. The E-Type's 150 mph top speed, sub-7-second 0 to 60 mph acceleration, unitary construction, disc brakes, rack-and-pinion steering, and independent front and rear suspension distinguished the car and spurred industry-wide changes.
On its release on 15 March 1961, Enzo Ferrari called it "the most beautiful car ever made". In 2004, Sports Car International magazine placed the E-Type at number one on their list of Top Sports Cars of the 1960s. In March 2008, the Jaguar E-Type ranked first in The Daily Telegraph online list of the world's "100 most beautiful cars" of all time.
My E-type was originally delivered to California in September 1963, where it spent its life in a warm, dry climate until I bought it in 2014, in consequence of which the vast majority of the metalwork is original.
It came to me with a California title confirming a mileage of 36, 595 and now shows just under 38, 000.
It had been partly restored in the USA, but further work was needed to bring it up to a decent standard.
Work undertaken (by Moss Jaguar, E-type specialist restorers of Letchworth, HERTS.) included:
Strip bodywork, check for corrosion, make good where required and apply waxoyl treatment
Rebuild rear axle
Change differential to 3. 07:1
Rebuild front suspension
Convert to Right Hand Drive
Fit alternator, convert to negative earth, and install new wiring loom
Fit upgraded cooling fan
Headlamp upgrade
Re-trim interior in Suede Green
This was completed in 2017. Subsequently, a new clutch and a new petrol tank have been fitted and it has covered approximately 1, 400 miles.
I have too many “toys”, but I can't decide which ones to sell, so I am going to let the market decide for me. I have advertised all six and intend to sell three and keep three, so once three have gone, I'll keep the rest and they will no longer be for sale.
