PRICE ON REQUEST

How better to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Jaguar E-Type at Ascott Collection than by offering for sale a superb example of the 1961 flat floor Series 1? 

Carrying the chassis number 876113, this superb "French" E-Type was built on November 15, 1961 and delivered by the Parisian distributor Royal Elysées - Delecroix on December 1, 1961. The distributor's plate is still on the car.

Being one of the rare models to have kept its original engine with the serial number R 2592-8, it has been completely restored by the Provost workshops in Le Mans in 2007.

​It had covered only 52,000 km before its restoration and was in a very good state of preservation before the work began. The stages of the restoration are documented by an interesting photo file. The car's file including its Jaguar Heritage Certificate attests that this superb E-Type Flat Floor is "matching number" and "matching color".

It was acquired in 2010 by its current owner who has driven only 4,200 km. It is still in superb condition and will offer a lot of driving pleasure to its next owner. This is an opportunity to acquire a beautiful example of a much sought after model.

The car is now advertised @ www.mobile.de for 80.000 EUR.

No technical inspection possible, just a meeting at Nice Airport

to make a testdrive and take the car with you. No heritage certificate,

no pictures from restauration. The french registration documents

show a 4th owner, advertiser says he's the third owner, missing data

in the french "carte grise".

seems to be a fake, attention demanded.

The most desirable iteration of the E-Type; a “flat floor” example

From the first year of production; originally delivered to Paris in December 1961

Presents in factory-correct Cream, complemented by a red soft-top roof and interior

Retains it matching-numbers engine

Documented with a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust (JDHT) certificate

Built during the first year of production for the era-defining Jaguar E-Type, this factory left-hand-drive Series 1 Roadster was listed as complete on 15 November 1961. An example of the most coveted “flat floor” variant, this car was sold new via Parisian distributor Delecroix on 1 December 1961. Per the accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate, the car was originally painted Cream and sported a Black fabric roof over a Biscuit interior.

While the full history of this E-Type is not known, it is understood to have been restored by Provost Automobiles of Le Mans in 2007. Subsequently acquired by the consigning owner in May 2010 and having covered fewer than 5,000 kilometres since its overhaul, the Jaguar notably retains its matching-numbers 3.8-litre straight-six engine. It presents in the factory-correct Cream hue and now wears an attractive burgundy soft-top with interior upholstery to match.
