This 1963 Jaguar XKE is a Series I Open Two-Seater finished in cream with a black soft top and a red interior. The car was sold new to a lieutenant in the US military and has been with the seller's family since 1982, and titled in the seller's name since 1995. A recently completed rotisserie restoration included a rebuild of the numbers-matching 3.8-liter inline-six, 4-speed gearbox, and differential as well as overhauls of the braking, suspension, and electrical systems with emphasis on maintaining factory specifications. The mechanical work and assembly were carried out by marque specialist and former JCNA judge Steve Gordon, while paint and bodywork were conducted by Perfect Reflections of Hayward, California. A handful of shakedown miles have been added since completion. This E-Type is now being offered with a factory tool roll, a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate, and a clean California title in the seller's name.

Designed by aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer, the E-Type was developed as an open sports car and debuted at the Geneva Salon in March 1961. The restoration of this example included separating the monocoque tub, panels, and front chassis before reapplying the factory cream color.

A new soft top in the original black color was fitted. New 15″ chrome wire wheels are mounted with Vredestein Sprint Classic tires at each corner, and the independent suspension and Dunlop 4-wheel disc brakes have been rebuilt.

Series I E-Types produced before September 1963 came equipped from the factory with aluminum trim on the center console and dash. This example is trimmed in red leather and also features an additional 1.5″ of legroom for the driver and passenger, a revision reportedly implemented a few hundred cars earlier during 1962 production.

Just under 22k miles are shown on the 5-digit odometer, approximately 10 of which have been added since the restoration was completed.

The 3.8-liter DOHC inline-six came equipped from the factory with a 9:1 compression ratio and triple 2" SU carburetors for a factory-rated output of 265 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque when new. The engine, 4-speed Moss gearbox, and Salisbury differential were rebuilt, and a period correct Marston-style radiator has been installed. Close-up engine compartment photos detailing the clamps, generator, wiring, Lucas battery, and more are provided in the gallery below.

Engine stamping R6431-9 is shown on the cylinder head and confirmed as numbers-matching by the included JDHT certificate.

The Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate records a July 13, 1962 dispatch date, confirms the original configuration, and lists the first owner.

A refurbished factory tool roll, jack, and matching spare tire reside in the trunk.
