Description
A true British motoring legend, the Jaguar E-Type Series 1 is among the most iconic cars in automotive history. Finished in Dark Blue and paired with a black leather interior, this 1963 example impresses with its pure lines, its authenticity and its decidedly sporting character. Beneath its long bonnet sits the legendary 3. 8-litre straight-six producing 265 bhp, mated to a four-speed manual gearbox. A characterful engine that delivers all the nobility and thrills of the great British sports cars of the 1960s. This E-Type also has a particularly interesting competition history. Prepared for competition by specialist Francis TRICHET, it took part in the prestigious Tour Auto in 2010, 2011 and 2014, showing its dynamic ability and its past in historic competition. Originally sold in the United States, it was later imported into France. It was sold by specialist Cecil Car in 1998 before receiving its competition preparation. Its specific equipment, including a roll cage, racing harnesses, a stainless steel exhaust system and a short-ratio rear axle, underlines its competitive purpose and makes it especially appealing to enthusiasts of historic rallies and regularity trials. Presented with its French carte grise, a comprehensive history file including invoices and an inspection report, this E-Type represents a fine opportunity to acquire a genuine icon with a history and a historic rally pedigree. A car with real character, as captivating on the road as it is at the finest automotive events.
