Sellers description:
Entirely solid, very original, numbers matching 1964 Jaguar 3.8L Series I E-Type Fixed Head Coupe (FHC) finished in rare, factory correct Black over Biscuit. Garaged and well loved from new and having never been restored, this three owner car is the proverbial "survivor", used as a weekend driver throughout the nearly 50 years since Max Hoffman imported the car. Based on this history and the condition of the car's telltale points, it's believed that the 57k miles registering on the odometer are entirely original.

According to the most recent owner, the original owner kept the car immaculate until the late 1970s, at which point it was purchased by a professional photographer and architectural preservationist from the historic town of New Castle, Delaware. His tenure of ownership would continue for the ensuing +/-25 years, before finding the third local buyer in 2002, a buyer whom he found through the local Jaguar Owner's club and one that he could be sure would provide the E-Type the same kind of care and preservation to which it had grown accustomed.

As offered today, the car is not without its minor aesthetic blemishes, but as the pictures exhibit, it is still abundantly presentable. The deep black finish, while showing its age, polishes up nicely, the glass is in excellent condition and the brightwork shows only minimal wear, with no dings or flaking chrome. The original chrome knock-off wheels are wrapped in Michelin radial tires with plenty of remaining tread. The car's body displays absolutely no evidence of rust or bondo and is extremely straight, with excellent panel fits and gaps all around. The wonderfully offsetting Biscuit interior is equally clean, showing only minimal wear to the Connelly leather, interior panels, carpets and headliner. The car also retains its period Blaupunkt radio, full wire wheel spare and changing tools.

Always maintained and consistently taken out to stretch its legs, the car is in fantastic shape mechanically, its original 3.8L inline six with triple SU carburetors starting right up without any smoke or hesitation. Pulling strongly and smoothly through each of the original Moss gearbox's gears, it propels the car down the highway with grin-inducing force. The car drives and brakes straight, handles crisply and thoroughly provides the early E-Type's trademark visceral feel. The car's undercarriage is solid and free of corrosion and the engine bay is entirely sanitary, further testament to the amount of miles the car has traveled.

This is an excellent opportunity at acquiring an extremely desirable, solid and mechanically strong example, finished in it's rare, factory correct color. Whether continuing its tenure as a wonderfully original weekend driver or as the ideal platform for an uncomplicated concours quality restoration, this 1964 E-Type FHC is sure to provide strong investment upside while bringing its next owner the same joy imparted upon its previous caretakers.

For sale in France, at Aguttes Auction, 14 April 2018 :
www.classicdriver.com/en/car/jaguar/e-type-si/1964/520023

Description :

1964 - Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Coupé
Estimate: 120,000 - 150,000 €

The model which we are presenting for sale is a splendid Series 1 Coupé with a 3.8-litre engine. Sold new by the importer Max Hoffman in New York, it was one of the last such cars to leave the factory. In 2014, the body was completely sanded down before being repainted in its original colour. Its attractive black paintwork goes perfectly with its superbly patinated beige interior. The car runs like clockwork, having been meticulously maintained by its previous owner; in particular, the shock absorbers, exhaust system and wheels were all replaced a few years ago. During our road test, we were completely satisfied with the car, which proved that it had lost none of its original vigour. In this purest and most sought-after version, this fine example of the E-Type is worthy of the attention of the most demanding of collectors. Don't let this opportunity slip by to treat yourself to one of Coventry's finest creations.

One of the most beautiful coupés in the world

Lot 104 at the Ossenat Auction of Classic Cars in Lyon on 7th November 2021. Sold for 115,000 euros. Abbreviated catalogue description below.

The E Type shown here is a Series 1 first registered on New Year's Eve 1964 in New York City, and then owned by a famous New York architect. Subsequently resold, it remained in the United States where it was purchased by the President of the Jaguar Owners Club of California based in Los Angeles, and it was kept there until its arrival in France in the early 2010s. The current owner then undertook a major restoration in 2015, with an overhaul of the chassis and suspension, a repaint in the original Jaguar black colour and full re-trim of the interior in Cream leather. Today it presents beautifully retaining the original state of preservation. The 6 cylinder twin camshaft engine has been overhauled and the original 4 speed gearbox rebuilt. Now, as it did 60 years ago, the E Type remains a true work of art on four wheels.
