History:
Unveiled in 1961, the Jaguar E-Type was immediately hailed as one of the most beautiful cars in the world. It was designed by Malcolm Sayer, an aerodynamic engineer at Jaguar. The Series 1 3.8, produced until 1964, remains the purest of the E-Types. It introduced the XK six-cylinder engine and a timeless design that remains a benchmark today.

This example was delivered new in France in 1964. The car has been owned by the current owner since June 2023 and has a collector’s registration certificate.

This example is in excellent overall condition.

The bodywork is beautiful. The Opalescent Silver Blue paint is uniform. The spoked wheels are in good condition, as are the underbody and exhaust system, which are clean and show no signs of corrosion. The headlights are clear and in good condition. The soft top is also in good condition.

Inside the cabin, the navy blue leather upholstery is well-preserved. The dashboard is in good condition, featuring its original round gauges. The three-spoke wooden steering wheel looks great. The dashboard instruments are functional.

The inline-6 engine starts and revs normally. The car has been regularly maintained over several decades, with a comprehensive record of invoices. The Moss transmission shifts smoothly. The handling is very good.
