About this car

This is a very early Series 1 E-Type fixed head coupe, a right-hand-drive UK car first supplied in December 1961. It has the 3.8-litre engine with triple SU carburettors and the original Moss gearbox, and it carries the early details enthusiasts look for: flat floors, the early engine frame set and the straight rear bulkhead.

The car has been fully restored by the Hutson Motor Co. The shell has new floors and outer sills, along with a new Jaguar Heritage bonnet assembly and engine frames. It is finished in silver grey pearlescent paint with red leather, and the chrome has been reconditioned and re-plated. The engine, gearbox, front suspension, rear axle and 3.07 differential have all been reconditioned.

Changes for usability include EZ power steering, an uprated cooling fan, a stainless exhaust, LED lighting in original-style headlamps, and new chrome wire wheels on Dunlop tyres. The car has a Jaguar Heritage Certificate and an early buff logbook, and shows 500 miles.
