Hershey | Lot 184
1963 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 3.8-Litre Fixed Head Coupe
$90,000 - $110,000 USD
7 October 2021
Chassis No. 888250
Engine No. RA1117-9

A stylish example of the “most beautiful car in the world”
Clad in the period-style livery of Cardinal Red over black upholstery
One of 5,871 left-hand drive examples reportedly produced between 1961 and 1964
Powered by its numbers-matching 3.8-liter straight-six engine paired with a four-speed manual transmission
Benefits from much mechanical sorting completed within the past year

The JDHT Trace Certificate on file notes that the handsome 3.8-Litre Fixed Head Coupe offered here was delivered new to the United States via Max Hoffman’s distributorship and dispatched to its first owner on 25 February 1963. Though originally clad in an Opalescent Golden Sand over Tan upholstery, today the car has been refinished in an alluring period-style Cardinal Red exterior over black livery. The car’s present 3.8-liter straight-six engine is numbers-matching to that listed on JDHT documentation, and it is paired with a four-speed manual transmission.

A fresh set of factory-correct wide whitewall tires add to the near-perfect E-Type aesthetic, which is rounded out here by a pair of 15-inch factory chrome wire wheels. As is appropriate for such a neatly presented Series 1 E-type, the cabin is replete with all the proper airplane-style toggle switchgear and chrome trim, which undoubtedly remain a core component of the model’s enduring, stylish appeal. A rarely-seen Continental Custom push-button radio is fitted in the center console, thereby continuing the uniformity of the car’s interior styling.

Nearly $6,500 of notable servicing furnished to this Series 1 Fixed Head Coupe within the past year includes a new clutch slave cylinder, oil feed pipe, oil pressure gauge, and sending unit, as well as a new brake master cylinder. The chassis underpinnings were further improved with fresh bushings for the rear swing arms, as well as new boots for the steering rack and tie rods. Additionally, the trio of SU carburetors have been rebuilt and each fitted with new bowls, jets, and floats.

Condition Excellent

When we talk about a Jag E-Type Coupe we immediately think that it's one of the prettiest cars ever built- certainly Enzo Ferrari thought so and we couldn't agree more.

This one has been with us a while and we will say right up front that this car has seen very little use over the years and will most likely require some patience and fettling from its next owner. The car runs and drives pretty solid at this point, engine and trans perform well, brakes seem very solid and we've recently added new silencers to a solid exhaust system. We had the transmission gone through because first gear was notchy and well beyond the noise one would expect from a period moss 4 speed. All good now.

We have a Heritage certificate and while this car was born Golden Sand it has been changed to a very attractive red that looks great and presents itself well on this 2-seat coupe. Further based on the heritage this car is numbers matching in engine block, head and vin on the front subframe. The interior is most likely original and has been dyed at some point in its life. The chrome is all presentable and the chrome wire wheels and tires are very good.

In a nutshell if you are looking for a restored yesterday, concours correct nut and bolt restoration this is not your car- but we all know that car is closer to 150K then where we have this one priced. We think this car represents a value in the market for someone looking for an XKE driver that they can enjoy and perhaps improve along the way.
