Car to be at auction 8/16

Auction description:

Pebble Beach 2016

1962 Jaguar E-Type Series I 3.8-Litre Roadster

Estimate: $250,000 - $325,000

Chassis: 876479

Engine: R3444-9

Lot 104 Pebble Beach 2016

When the current owner, a respected E-Type restoration specialist, acquired the car three years ago, he embarked on a comprehensive and high-quality restoration. The body was stripped to bare metal and refinished. The engine and differential have been rebuilt and the wiring harness, wheels, tires, braking system, clutch, and hydraulics are all new. The correct Connolly hide interior was imported from England, and the stainless steel exhaust has been polished to a chrome-like finish. The restorer-owner went to extreme lengths to ensure a proper panel fit of the doors, which appear to align with the body of the car without fracture - paying homage to the profile lines that William Lyons so revered.

Accompanying the sale are a tool kit, jack, original books, the JDHT certificate, and a rare factory hard top. Burnished by a concours-standard restoration, displaying an attractive black and red livery - its original colors - and notable as one of the last of the early flat-floor E-Types, this Jaguar is an extremely collectible, ultimately driveable piece of rolling art.

Auction description:

French title

Chassis # 876479

Engine # R3444-9

- Comprehensive restoration, matching numbers

- Flat floors, rare version with welded louvres

- Very attractive color combination

- No reserve

The car on offer left the factory in Coventry on 1 January 1962 and was immediately exported to New York to be sold to its first owner. This car represents one of the rare models with a flat floor and welded hood grids, of which very few units were produced after the version with the external closing hood. It spent most of its lifetime in the United States, up until its restoration 5 years ago by an overseas specialist of the model. Unfortunately, the file containing the invoices has been lost but it is clear that the whole bodywork was entirely taken apart up to the chassis. The hours of man power have not been counted to manage to perfectly align all of the openings in order to pay tribute to William Lyons' exceptional work. This Jaguar type E is definitely one of the most beautiful we have ever come across and truly the sexiest in this colour combination, as it was when it left the factory, black with a red leather interior. Its factory hard top gives it a lot of elegance. It will be delivered to its future buyer with its Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, its original booklet and its tool box. Acquired at our Rétromobile sale in 2018, its current owner, an 80 year old man from Marseille, passionate about beautiful English and Italian cars, finds it a little hard to drive because of his age and missing enough space to fit his dog! He is reselling it with a heavy heart, having fallen in love with its shape and condition. The type E is certainly one of the most beautiful production models, this one in particular, with matching numbers, is one of the first to be produced, and its condition and purity is breathtaking.

Estimation 170 000 - 230 000 €

Sold 203,832 €
