In 1980, 875140 was located in Delaware. It was advertised in Hemmings Motor News in 1982. By late 1988, it was located in Maryland, in the hands of a new owner, possibly at least the third owner. At least two owners back from its 1980 owner, it was owned in Virginia. At that time the car was dissembled. Radiator# 5545.

2023 Pebble Beach Auctions

1961 Jaguar E-Type Series I 3.8-Litre Roadster

Estimate 275,000 - $350,000| Without Reserve

Chassis 875140

Engine R1202-9

As the 140th left-hand-drive E-Type Roadster built, this example has all these coveted features. It was completed on June 28, 1961, barely three months after the E-Type’s debut, and was originally finished in the striking combination of Opalescent Gunmetal over Red. Originally dispatched to New York, this 1961 E-Type Series I 3.8-Litre Roadster had relocated to the mid-Atlantic coast by the 1980s. In recent years, the Jaguar was cosmetically restored in its present maroon over beige colors and, according to the accompanying JDHT Certificate, it retains its matching-numbers engine. This handsomely presented, early production E-Type Roadster remains as attractive and sought-after today as it was 62 years ago.
