About this car

This is a 1964 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 3.8 fixed-head coupe, a right-hand-drive car built at Browns Lane and described as one of the last 500 of the 3.8-litre cars before the move to the 4.2. Early Series 1 cars are the purest expression of the E-Type, and the page states that this one has matching numbers.

It is offered as a restoration project rather than a running car. The page says it has been fully stripped, boxed and catalogued, and that it needs new engine frames, a picture frame and a bonnet carrier. The finish is listed as grey over a black interior, with a manual gearbox, and the odometer reads 590 miles.

For the right buyer it is a chance to rebuild an early, numbers-matching 3.8 from a known starting point.
