About this car

This is an early Series One E-Type 3.8 fixed head coupe from 1962, the year after the model's launch. The 3.8-litre straight-six and manual gearbox are the combination that defined the original E-Type.

It was first delivered to Jaguar Cars in New York, so it began life as a US-market car. The most recent owner repatriated it to the UK in 2012, some 14 years ago.

It is finished in Opalescent dark blue, with a completely new burgundy hide interior. The listing gives no odometer reading, registration or ownership count.
