About this car

This is an early Series 1 E-Type open two-seater (OTS) from 1961, the 'flat floor' type. The name refers to the original flat footwells, a feature of the first cars before the floorpan was revised. These are the most sought-after of the 3.8-litre cars, with the XK straight-six and a manual gearbox.

The car is finished in dark blue with a blue hood and blue leather trim. Spec includes chrome wire wheels, a cross-hatch aluminium dash and centre console, and a centre armrest. It is right-hand drive.

The dealer says it was fully restored a couple of years ago and has covered very little mileage since. It is currently having final set-up in the dealer's own Jaguar workshop at Mallory Park. No mileage, registration or ownership history is given on the page.
