Description

“The purity of design…”

Over the years Marreyt Classics can rightly claim, after so many passed through our hands, to be a Jaguar E-type specialist. So we can confirm that it’s one of the most flexible cars on the market, capable of whispering along in top gear at 50km/h or leaping into its 240km/h stride on the brief depression of a pedal.
A practical roadster thanks to its wide doors and capacious luggage space, yet it has a sheer beauty of line which easily beats the Italians at their own ‘particular game’.

This particular E-type is a very early ‘Outside Bonnet Lock’ model! According to the Jaguar Heritage Certificate, chassis #340 was produced on 17th of August 1961 and shipped to Jaguar Cars, New York, USA. Finished in the beautiful combination of ‘Opalescent Gunmetal’ with a red interior.
Little is known about the car's early history. What is certain is that this E-type found her way back to Europe (Austria) in 2007. There, the car became part of a unique Jaguar collection, with very limited use resulting. That is precisely the reason why the car, to this day, is still in exceptionally fine condition.

Still being matching on engine + cylindered & colors, this early flatfloor E-type roadster is absolutely a pleasure to drive!
Are you the next enthusiast to shelter this unique classic?
