Description
Fully Restored, Matching Numbers, RHD.
An outstanding example of the iconic Jaguar E-Type Series 1 3. 8 Roadster, finished in its original and highly desirable colour combination of Opalescent Gunmetal (Metallic Grey) over Red leather, complemented by a Black canvas hood.
This is a factory right-hand drive, matching numbers UK-supplied car, supported by its Jaguar Heritage Certificate. Manufactured on 23rd October 1963, it represents one of the earliest and purest forms of the legendary E-Type.
Purchased by the current owner in 2021, the car has since undergone a comprehensive 3-year, nut-and-bolt restoration by leading marque specialists, with over £200, 000 invested. The work included a full body rebuild with new panels, professional alignment by RJ Panels, and a complete repaint to original specification by Bedworth Classic Cars. Mechanical reassembly was carried out by AJ Autocraft, with all major components, including engine, gearbox, and axle, fully rebuilt or refurbished. The interior and hood were entirely retrimmed by GB Classic Trim using handcrafted materials to original standards.
The result is a car restored to an exceptional, near-new condition, with just circa 100 miles covered since completion.
Subtle upgrades have been incorporated to enhance usability, including power steering, upgraded brakes, and adjustable suspension, all while maintaining the car’s original character and integrity.
Powered by the renowned 3. 8-litre inline-six engine producing approximately 265 bhp, the E-Type offers thrilling performance, advanced engineering, and timeless design. Widely regarded as one of the most beautiful cars ever made, the Series 1 Roadster remains the most sought-after and collectible variant.
A rare opportunity to acquire a fully restored, investment-grade example of Jaguar’s most celebrated sports car.
