Description

1962 Jaguar XKE Series 1 3. 8 Litre "Flat Floor" RoadsterIntroducing this 1962 Jaguar XKE Series 1 3. 8 Litre "Flat Floor" Roadster with a Louvered Bonnet featuring a matching-numbers engine. This is an early Series I E-Type featuring the desirable flat-floor configuration and welded bonnet louvers, details that were only present on the earliest production cars before later revisions. Highlights:- Matching-Numbers Engine- Desirable Early Flat-Floor and Welded Louver Configuration- 3. 8-Liter Inline-Six Engine- 4-Speed Manual Transmission- Triple SU Carburetors- Front-Wheel Disc BrakesEquipped with a 4-speed manual transmission, 3. 8-liter inline-six engine, triple SU carburetors, dual exhaust outlets, front-wheel disc brakes, three-spoke wood steering wheel, bonnet louvers, convertible soft top frame, front bucket seats, and 15-inch wire wheels with two-eared "knock-off" spinners.
