Sellers comment:

The car on offer is a fabulous, ground up nut & bolt concours level restoration and is truly one of the finest XKE's on the market. The Carmen red paintwork done to the highest standard, and is simply exquisite. The interior has been correctly restored with beautiful biscuit leather, and the dash has been completely restored as well. The car is also fitted with a new black canvas soft top and matching boot. The trunk is fully detailed and even includes a very rare original tool set with restored tools. Mechanically the car is in fine form. Every component on the car has been refurbished; please see the photos of the engine compartment and the undercarriage. The engine is the correct 3.8 matching number motor. Driving this car is like driving a new E-Type in 1963, except that this car has even higher levels of fit and finish than it did when new.

Auction description:

The Enthusiast Auction April 2025

1963 Jaguar E-Type Roadster

VIN: 878681

A numbers-matching example

Late '90s award-winning restoration by noted firm

Multiple First in Class awards and Best Overall British Sports Car

Accompanied by a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate

Once completed in 1997, this British Roadster was shipped back to the United States in the same year, where it would make its show debut at the Napier Jaguar Convention and be awarded the People's Choice Award; shortly thereafter, it received the Best Overall British Sports Car award as well as a First in Class. This example was then sent to California where it continued its strong showing at competitive events by winning a First in Class and the Jaguar Marque Trophy at one of the prestigious California Concours that honored Jaguar as the featured marque. Most recent ownership history recounts the current owner acquiring this Jaguar four years ago from an estate that had reportedly owned it for over a decade.

The Carmen Red paint, wire wheels, and gleaming chrome work still present remarkably well, a true testament to the love and care this example has received through the years. Powered by its numbers-matching, DOHC 3.8-litre six-cylinder engine fed by triple SU carburetors and backed by a four-speed manual gearbox, this lightweight British sports car offers its next owner legendary and sporting performance. Under previous ownership, a stainless-steel exhaust was equipped, furthering its noted engine sound.

Having garnered much deserved attention and awards, this 1963 Jaguar Series 1 E-Type Roadster has obviously been well-cared for and maintained since its body-off-the-frame restoration by a marque expert and represents a wonderful degree of quality for a fraction of what it would cost to restore one of these examples today.
