Seller's description:

1961 Jaguar E-Type flat floor Convertible

Right Hand Drive

Manual, 4 speed

3798cc

AAS353

Grey

Private seller

Brightlingsea, United Kingdom, previously said to be in Colchester, Essex

Chassis number 850159, the 159th right hand drive E type produced.

Numbers matching with all the important parts included, the parts that are not included would normally be be replaced with new items anyway.

This is obviously a project car that needs rebuilding.

Its original colour is Operlescent gunmetal grey with a dark blue interior trim, one of the most desired colour combinations ever produced and once completed you will own one of the earliest flat floor E Types in existence. There are many new panels included with this project and if required we can build you a body shell for an additional fee or we can rebuild you the complete car.

This car is my own vehicle since 2016 and the log book is in my name, i was going to build this for myself as a personal project but unfortunately due to time, work commitments and too many cars i am now selling a large amount of my collection.

Included is an additional 3. 8 engine block with the crankshaft in and there is everything else to build the engine, gearbox and rear IRS.

£49000 to purchase as a project.

We can help build a new body shell if required at a reduced rate.
