It is a 1963 Jaguar E-Type fhc, it was originally exported to Canada and brought back to the UK around 1989. At this time it was converted to RHD.

The car is definately a "project" car, it is running and driving but has not been on the road for 3 or 4 years and needs some work. At least one outer sill is soft and needs replaced, perhaps both.

The car is now back on the road having spent the past 3 yrs being rebuilt!. It's in much better condition and is now work in progress on the road. Both sills have been repaired, conversion to alternator and neg earth, a complete IRS strip out and rebuild, new brakes etc. Most other parts either stripped, rebuilt/repaired.
A lovely car to drive and own. Now residing in Hampshire, England.

This is the definitive E-type Jaguar - Series One 3.8 FHC. This is the car that launched a legend in October 1961 and the first generation fixed head, 2 seat coupe is, by far, the prettiest of all E-types. Annoying things like safety and uniform regulations eventually ruined the original Malcolm Sayer design and necessity eventually consigned the E-type top history. But it remains one of the most beautiful cars of all time and the S1 FHC is the best of the bunch.

Guide Price: £45000 to £55000

Just bought the car at barons auction and shipped it down to Devon. The plan is to evaluate the car then start a full strip down, acid dip the body and then a total rebuild. Luckily i am fortunate enough to know a man who can do this work. i know it will take a long time and cost a lot of money but its something I really fancy doing. Hope to undertake some mods like better cooling, better brakes, 5 speed box etc. It will be painted a different colour, one of the opolescents, just haven't settled on one yet. If any knows any more history on the car I would love to hear from them.
Will update this website when its all done in a year or two.

I was wondering where this car ended up. I bought it from a guy in Lloydminster in the mid 1980's and sold it to a UK buyer in 1989. Glad to see she's being so well cared for!

We owned this car from 1989 until around 2007. It wasn't used much due to other vehicles and its requiring a degree of work. Glad to see someone has done that work, and someone else is considering doing more. Would be delighted to see it fully sorted as it had great potential. My researches at the time indicated it left the factory in opalescent maroon.
