Built in January 1966, this E-Type Roadster was originally finished in a rare Black over Beige color combination and dispatched to Jaguar Cars New York. That spring, it was sold to its first owner, Archie Saccio of East Patchogue, Long Island. Remarkably, the car remained in his family’s ownership until earlier this year, when it was sold to the consignor.

Mr. Saccio, an Eastern Airlines pilot and WWII Air Force veteran, drove his Jaguar sparingly during the early years of his ownership, later limiting its use to occasional outings. Last registered in 1999, this E-Type presents in unrestored, untouched, garage-find condition and has not been driven for approximately 25 years. At the time of cataloguing, the odometer read just 12,808 miles.

A true survivor, this E-Type retains its original paint, upholstery, soft top, Triplex glass, and serial-numbered components per the accompanying JDHT Certificate. Period accessories include a luggage rack, radio, Talbot Berlin mirror, Moto-Lita steering wheel, and ANSA exhaust system. The original dealer sticker – Trencher of Amityville – remains affixed to the rear panel, and the trunk contains the original tool roll, owner’s manual, maintenance booklet, manufacturer’s warranty, and service manual.

An important and iconic model from one of England’s most successful sports car manufacturers, the E-Type is one of the most enduring postwar classics. Finding a low-mileage Series I Roadster with ideal colors, original paperwork, and nearly 60 years of single family ownership is every collector’s dream.
