Reimel Motor Cars is proud to offer this1961 Jaguar E-Type Series I 3.8-Litre Fixed Head Coupe Elegantly Presented in Opalescent Bronze over Red Upholstery.

Highly Collectible Early Production Model | Beautifully Restored | Matching-Numbers Engine

Debuting at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1961, the Jaguar E-Type stunned the world with its revolutionary design and engineering. Featuring a lightweight monocoque construction, twin-cam 3.8-litre engine, four-wheel disc brakes, and independent suspension, the earliest E-Types are the most desirable among collectors. These early models boast unique attributes, including welded-in hood louvers, flat floors, and a free-revving powertrain.

This exceptional example, the 221st left-hand-drive fixed-head coupe built, benefits from all these sought-after features. Completed on November 21, 1961, it left the factory in the stunning combination of Opalescent Bronze over Red and was originally dispatched to Jaguar Cars of New York, where it found its first owner.

In 2011, New Forest Classic Cars, renowned specialists in Jaguar restorations, acquired this E-Type. Between 2013 and 2015, it underwent an extensive 2,800-hour restoration, meticulously documented with over 670 photographs and receipts totaling nearly $300,000. The exceptional level of craftsmanship is unmistakable-the car looks as if it were completed only yesterday and is ready for any concours.

According to the accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust (JDHT) Certificate, this E-Type retains its matching-numbers engine, adding to its authenticity and value. Presented in its original specification and fitted with a set of outside-laced wire wheels, this early-production Series I E-Type remains as breathtaking and sought-after today as it was 64 years ago.
