    Auction description:

    Lot Number 145

    1961 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 3.8-Litre Roadster

    Sold For £195,500

    London

    Chassis No.876336

    Engine No. R 3120-9

    Gearbox No. EB2302JS

    Body No. R 2629

    Documents: UK V5

    Desirable first-year, flat-floor E-Type Roadster

    Retains its original engine and finished in original colours

    Recent re-commissioning by Lanzante

    Constructed in December of 1961, this particular E-Type is a 'flat-floor' example from the model's very first year of production. Originally finished in Opalescent Gunmetal over a red leather interior, the same colour combination it sports today, the car was delivered new to Max Hoffman's fabled Jaguar Dealership in New York City. The car retains both its original engine and gearbox.

    Upon being imported to the UK in the late 1980s, it was converted to right-hand drive and fully restored in 1991 to exacting standards. The car has seen very light use since restoration and has only travelled some 800 miles since 2011; it is no surprise that this E-Type is presented in excellent condition throughout.

    Its previous owner maintained the car to exacting standards with maintenance work carried out by marque specialists GTC Engineering, BPA Engineering and Paul Lanzante Ltd. Recently the car was fully re-commissioned by Paul Lanzante Ltd within the last year. Given only occasional use in the preceding five years, nothing was overlooked in making sure the E-Type was ready for anything it had in store, and invoices for the work amount to over £30,000.

    With recent re-commissioning by one of Britain's most celebrated motorsport outfits, the perfect colour combination and matching-numbers engine and drivetrain, this E-Type checks all the right boxes for someone looking to enjoy perhaps the most iconic British car ever built on the open road.

    1961 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 3.8-Litre Roadster

    London, United Kingdom

    6 November 2021

    Chassis No. 876336

    Engine No. R 3120-9

    Gearbox No. EB2302JS

    Body No. R 2629

    Desirable early “flat floor” example made in the first year of E-Type production

    Numbers-matching 3.8-liter inline six-cylinder engine

    Finished in its original colour combination of Gunmetal over a Red interior with Black hood

    First exported to the U.S.A. via Max Hoffman, returning to the U.K. in the 1980s

    Recommissioned over 2013 and 2014 with invoices exceeding £20,000

    This example was constructed within the first year of E-Type production, recorded as completed by the factory on 8 December 1961. The Jaguar was completed in Gunmetal over a Red leather interior and with a Black convertible hood, the same colour configuration that the car is finished in today. First delivered to a customer in the United States, the E-Type was brought into the country through the renowned importer, Max Hoffman of New York, and the car stayed in the U.S.A. until it returned to the United Kingdom in the 1980s, at which point it was converted to right-hand drive and is believed to have been restored in 1991.

    Over 2013 and 2014, the Jaguar was subject to recommissioning work by marque specialists GTC Engineering, BPA Engineering, and Paul Lanzante Ltd. Workshop bills on file add up to over £20,000, with work including a strip-down of the engine, cylinder head overhaul, rebuild of the gearbox, refresh of the front and rear suspension, strip and clean the brake cylinder, fit a new clutch master cylinder, overhaul of the carburettors, and uprating the engine sump. Regularly maintained through the years, the car’s engine block and cylinder head are original.
