From notes of J. Walker: Build date is estimated, dot pattern aluminum console, seemingly original pressed louver bonnet (should be welded louver?), inside bonnet locks, flat floor, exposed hatch hinges, roadster seats, 3.31 diff.

Hello John,

Yes, this car should have welded louvers and also the split carburetor shaft with the 3 seperate levers on it. Not better in function but original!

I once sold 885231 and am now owner of 885017 as well as 875521...

But a very nice looking car! Have fun...

Stefan

IT'S ALIVE! is representing this gorgeous Flat Floor E-type on behalf of one of our great customers, who has owned this car since 1987! Per the accompanying Jaguar-Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, this example was built November 27th, 1961. Originally being a Cream over Black car, this vehicle was taken down to nuts and bolts for a full ground up restoration converting the exterior and interior to the color combination you see today.

Apart from exterior looks, this beautiful Jaguar E-Type Series I has a list of performance upgrades to amplify the driving experience. This list includes items such as a Griffen aluminum radiator, modern cooling fan, unlit optilite distributor, MSD 6AL ignition, aluminum flywheel, nippondenso gear reduction starter, modern racing style crankshaft damper, GM 100 amp alternator, Series 1.5 all-synchro gearbox, 6'' wide Dayton stainless steel wire wheels, and an upgraded sound system.

This E-Type runs and drives incredibly well, and is certainly one of our favorites. With all of the upgrades, this car is sure to give you a thrill on open roads for years and years to come.
