About this car

This is Eagle No.36, one of only 56 E-Types completed by Eagle. It started life as a 1962 Series 1 roadster and was restored by Eagle between 2013 and 2016, then built to the company's Sport specification with a number of SuperSport upgrades.

The original 3.8-litre engine has been rebuilt to Eagle SuperSport specification and is paired with Eagle's five-speed aluminium gearbox. Other changes include an aluminium radiator, Ohlins adjustable dampers, uprated four-piston front brakes, wider wire wheels and a modern fuel system. Later additions are air conditioning, speed-sensitive power steering and an infotainment system with sat nav.

It is finished in Anthracite with red trim and has covered 4,415 miles since the restoration. After completion it was taken on the Modena Cento Ore driving tour in Italy. The car is currently right-hand drive, and Eagle says it can be converted to left-hand drive. The price is on application.

Performance

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car ("Eagle Sport" is not a Jaguar factory variant and I don't recognise it as a named Eagle (UK restorer) model; Eagle builds vary, so I left the performance figures blank. I filled in only the basic layout of the 1962 Series 1.).
