Lot 66 at the Dorotheum Auction Sale of Classic Cars at Vosendorf on 3 July 2021. Sold for 182,200 euros. Abbreviated catalogue description below.

www.dorotheum.com/en/l/7252105/

This early open two seater was built on 11th October 1961. What makes it special is not only that it is an early flat floor model and is finished in its unusual, original colour combination of Cream with a Light Blue leather interior but its extensive, documented history. Ordered by Heinz Ostersetzer, an imported of luxury watches in Vienna through the Austrian distributor, Georg Hans Koch in Vienna.

The car was not delivered to Vienna but collected by Mr Ostersetzer from the factory as a Personal Export Delivery. It was registered by Jaguar with UK registration 156WK. Two years later he sold it to Otto Jungbauer, a Linz jeweller and he kept the car until 1969 when it returned to Vienna with its third owner. The car was finally de-registered and taken off the road in 1985.

The vendor found the car in a barn in the Vienna woods. The car was complete but required total restoration. The car was restored to its original specification regardless of cost and using the best specialists. The work is complete and the result is impressive, the quality of the restoration is exceptional and as if that is not enough, its Austrian history makes this impressive sports car unique.

Seller's description:

This beautiful and very rare Jaguar Series 1 3.8-Litre Roadster Flatfloor is an exceptional example of the model.

Its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate records the E-Type as being dispatched on 20 October 1961 January and then delivered to a Mr. Ostersetzer in Vennia, Austria. As far as we could find, Mr. Ostersetzer was the import of luxury watches in Austria.

This Jaguar E-type is newly delivered in the color scheme which is still on the car, a Cream exterior with a light blue interior and a black soft-top.

The car was not delivered to Vienna but collected by Mr Ostersetzer from the factory as a Personal Export Delivery. It was registered by Jaguar with UK registration 156WK. Two years later he sold it to Otto Jungbauer, a Linz jeweller and he kept the car until 1969 when it returned to Vienna with its third owner. The car was finally de-registered and taken off the road in 1985.

The Jaguar was found in a barn in the Vienna Woods and was in superb order for a restoration. The car had no rust and still showed all it’s matching numbers including the number on the engine and gearbox.

The restoration which was carried out on the car is very well archived with a photo book. The photo book shows the intense and very accurate restoration of the E-type.

The restoration was carried out in the UK by well known specialist Lynx.

The restoration has taken 5 years and was finished in 2018.

Lynx confirmed the following:

“Lynx has detailed knowledge about early Flatfloors. The records contain not only thousands of photos of original cars but also samples of original materials and spare parts, that are not available. All surface coatings are to original specification: cadmium plated, browned, or painted black, chromed, big gloss painted etc.

This Flatfloor restored by Lynx is like a car that has just left the production line. Methodical research and the Lynx records guarantee a meticulous result and 100% originality”.

CONDITION EXTERIOR

Restoration pictures which are coming with the Jaguar show an impressive restoration by a top specialist whereby the entire body was taken apart for restoration. The result of the restoration is very impressive.

Its body integrity is very good throughout, with excellent gaps, straight panels, and good fit and operation of the panels.

The color of the E-type (still the original/delivery color) shows beautifully on the car and has a beautiful deep shine.

The chrome parts fit excellent on the car. We often see E-types whereby the bumpers or the lamp surroundings are badly fitted but this E-type has superb fittings.

The quality of the chrome is excellent and has a nice deep shine.

The glass and lights are also in very good condition. No damages whatsoever are visible.

The chrome wire wheels and desirable “eared” knock-offs are smoothly plated with no major flaws.

All four matching tires are in very good condition.

CONDITION INTERIOR

The interior of the Jaguar is excellent, having been thoroughly restored.

The upholstery, carpets, softtop, and dashboard are all in a perfect restored condition.

Nearly every aspect of the interior was redone, including the dashboard and center console. The headliner was replaced with a new correct wool one and the load space was included in the restoration and presents essentially as new.

The restoration has been carried out by a specialist resulting in the use of the period correct materials but also in the correct specification.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT / UNDERNEATH

The engine and engine bay look excellent, very clean without big signs of age or use.

The engine block and head show the correct matching numbers.

Underneath the car looks equally nice and one can clearly see that attention has been given to detailing and restoration of the undercarriage.
