1961 JAGUAR Type E série 1 cabriolet

Jaguar E-Type 3. 8 Flat Floor from 1961, exceptionally rare first-series example, comprehensively restored to concours standards. Matching numbers confirmed, original specification preserved, engine and bodywork completely rebuilt.

This E-Type has benefited from an exhaustive restoration: 3. 8 engine overhauled, Moss 4-speed gearbox restored, running gear rebuilt, differential restored, new wiring loom, leather trim restored in keeping with period-correct materials (BAS supply). The bodywork has been entirely restored and repainted in its original colour.

The vehicle starts perfectly, holds a steady idle and delivers precise, sound handling. All elements specific to the earliest models—flat floor, louvred bonnet, specific door chrome, bucket seats, thin-rimmed wood steering wheel—are present and in excellent condition.

Key highlights:

Flat Floor version, the most sought-after

Matching engine/ chassis numbers

Fully documented complete restoration

Original specification respected

Excellent road behaviour

Vehicle ready for use

A rare opportunity to acquire an E-Type from the very first production year, restored to an exceptional standard of excellence.
