1963 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 OTS 3.8 ltr. Fully restored

E-Type OTS 3. 8 ltr. with matching numbers and matching colours

__________________________________________________ _______________

We are offering one of the highly sought-after Series 1 OTS (Open Two-Seater) models with a 3. 8 ltr. engine, in very good condition.

Restored to a very high standard with matching numbers and matching colours. The chassis number, engine number and gearbox number correspond exactly with the verified Heritage certificate. A reliable classic to drive yourself or a design icon for the ages that you’ll want to own.

This E-Type was built on 19 March 1963 and originally featured precisely this colour combination: Cream exterior, black interior and a black soft top.

This colour combination was highly sought-after, frequently ordered and is timelessly beautiful.

It was subsequently shipped to New York in the USA. America had no serious sports cars of its own, loved the E-Type and had the money. Nearly 70 per cent of left-hand-drive E-Types were sold to the USA, particularly the Roadsters (OTS).

In 2011, the current owner acquired this E-Type in the USA as a sound and unmodified restoration project and imported it to Germany.

The full restoration, carried out by a well-known and reputable restoration firm in Germany, began in 2016, and the E-Type was completely dismantled. The bodywork underwent extensive and expert bare-metal restoration. The owner is tall and finds the standard interior dimensions of an E-TYPE Series 1 OTS too cramped. However, this very Series 1 was right at the top of his bucket list.

As part of this process, the bulkhead behind the seats on the driver’s side was moved back slightly.

The mechanical components – engine, brakes, axles and gearbox – were also completely overhauled and repaired, sparing no expense. The aim was to achieve a top-class result.

The E-Type was completed in 2017. Great importance was attached to creating a highly reliable and roadworthy E-Type. The owner has frequently driven this OTS at classic car rallies. Care has always been taken to ensure regular maintenance and storage in perfect conditions.

This E-Type offers you exceptional quality and drives perfectly.

A dream car in the 1960s, just as it is today.
