Jaguar E-Type 1963 3.8 Series 1 Roadster. For Sale

The E-Type Jaguar debuted at the 1961 Geneva Motorshow as a replacement for the hugely successful Jaguar XK150. The new E-Type was nothing short of a revelation, with its heady blend of supercar performance, breath-taking styling and low price tag, the newcomer left its rivals reeling and customers desperate to own one. Designed by William Lyons and Malcolm Sayer, the E-Type was launched in 1961 in both fixed head coupe and roadster form with design inspiration taken from the Le-Mans winning D-Type sports racer. Built around a steel monocoque chassis with a front sub-frame to cradle the engine, all-round independent suspension using coil springs and dampers to the rear with torsion bars and wishbones to the front. Brakes were Dunlop discs all round, mounted inboard to the rear alongside the differential to reduce un-sprung weight. Powered by Jaguar’s XK 3. 8 litre twin-cam straight six engine, the E-Type offered breath taking performance to rival both Ferrari and Aston Martin. The 3. 8 litre engine produced 265bhp and boasted a top speed of 150 mph and a 0-60 mph time of just 6. 5 secs. 

The Jaguar E-Type 1963 3. 8 Series 1 Roadster offered here at Autostorico is an engine and chassis matching numbers car (Chassis No: 878940) finished in Dark Opalescent Green with Biscuit leather interior. Supplied new by Jaguar Cars of New York and registered on 4th February 1963, this very original example spent most of its early life in America, latterly in Montana, before returning to European shores in 1994. This stunning example was purchased by Mr Nurock of Geneva who owned the car for the next 21 years. During his tenure he upgraded the brakes to Coopercraft, replaced the floor panels, heating system and freshened the bodywork and interior. The car was returned to the United Kingdom by the current owner in early 2015. The new owner who is well known for racing and rallying Jaguars then embarked on a no expense spared nut and bolt restoration carried out over the next 18 months firstly by George King of Thames Valley Repairs, a marque specialist in Maidenhead. Work started with removing the engine and gearbox and stripping the whole body, replacing the front frame and a complete respray. The engine had a complete rebuild by Classic and Modern Engine Services Ltd of Bracknell to fast road specification and included fitting a reproduced Series 1 cooling fan. Hardy Engineering of Leatherhead were entrusted with the rebuild of the Moss gearbox.  Other notable works included; The fitment of Koni shock absorbers, new wire wheels and new tyres. Finally, a complete new interior was fitted including recovering the seats, door panels, metalwork, replacing the carpets and re-trimming the hood by marque specialist Mick Turley formerly of Suffolk and Turley.
Offered for sale with a current V5 registration document, MOT certificate valid until February 2019, recent invoices totalling £59, 000 and other related history including a heritage certificate.

This car offers the purchaser an opportunity to own a fine example of the most desirable Series 1 E-Type, which will certainly appreciate further over time.
