This 1963 Jaguar XKE Series I 3.8 roadster was refurbished under previous ownership in red over red leather upholstery, and it is powered by a 3.8-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a black fabric soft top, chrome-finished 15″ wire wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, triple SU carburetors, chrome bumpers, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a push-button radio. The car was acquired by the seller in December 2021, and service in 2022 included polishing the aluminum engine components, flushing the radiator, and replacing the clutch, engine seals, exhaust manifolds, exhaust system, front shocks, cooling fan, and brake master cylinder. This Series 1 XKE is now offered with a tool roll, a factory jack, a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, recent service records, and Georgia registration in the seller’s name listing the car as a 1964 model.

The car was delivered new in Opalescent Silver Gray and was repainted in the current shade of red under previous ownership. Features include a replacement black fabric soft top with an integrated lead damping pouch as well as a top boot, glass headlight covers, a louvered hood, central dual exhaust outlets, and chrome bumpers with overriders.

Chrome-finished 15″ wire wheels secured with two-eared knock-offs are mounted with 185-series Avon tires. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs with inboard-mounted rear rotors. The brake master cylinder and front shocks were replaced under current ownership.

The interior features low-back bucket seats trimmed in red leather along with color-coordinated door panels and carpets. Additional details include a center console, a heater and defroster, lap belts, and a push-button radio.

A wood-rimmed steering wheel fronts Smiths instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer with an inset analog clock, and centrally mounted auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 29k miles, approximately 100 of which were added by the seller, and true mileage is unknown.

The 3.8-liter inline-six features dual overhead camshafts and triple SU carburetors. Service since May 2022 included polishing the cam covers, intake manifold, and carburetor tops along with repainting the engine and engine accessories, flushing the radiator, installing a CoolCat radiator fan, and replacing the front and lower engine seals, the exhaust manifolds, engine mounts, coolant expansion tank, and exhaust system.

The number RA3091-9 stamped on the cylinder head and engine block matches the number on the chassis plate and the Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate.

Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. The flywheel was resurfaced and the clutch and slave cylinder were replaced under current ownership.

The included Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate shows factory colors and options and lists October 29, 1963 as the car’s date of dispatch.

1963 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 3.8 Roadster

The Las Vegas Auction 2025

Estimate:$120,000 - $140,000

Offered from the Lone Star Sports Car Collection

Highly desirable Series 1 OTS Roadster with matching-numbers engine

Handsomely optioned example in Carmine Red over Red leather

Recent service and detailing under current ownership

Includes Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate and recent receipts

Reportedly kept by the second owner for 40 years

Chassis No. 880371

Engine No. RA 3091-9

This E-Type Roadster was reportedly cherished by the second owner for over 40 years who had it cosmetically restored during their tenure and is said to have used it sparingly. The third owner acquired it from his widow in 2021, subsequently servicing it with a new clutch, bottom-end re-seal, CoolCat fan, and engine detailing. Joining the vendor's collection in 2022, additional service work was performed to prepare the car for touring, including detailing, an alloy radiator, and a fresh set of redline tires mounted on the gleaming chrome wire wheels. Renowned for their performance and versatility, early E-Types are wildly popular with classic touring and rally enthusiasts. This beautiful example with its matching-numbers engine, select upgrades such as luggage rack with fitted suitcase, and cherished history, is a prime candidate for continued motoring adventures.

Lot #221122

This 1963 Jaguar XKE Series I 3.8 roadster was built in October 1963 and was sold on BaT in October 2022, and a subsequent refurbishment was performed in Texas in 2023. Work involved repainting the car in red, retrimming the red leather seats, adding aluminum interior trim and a luggage rack, installing an aluminum radiator with an auxiliary electric cooling fan, rebuilding the cylinder head and the brakes, and also replacing the wire wheels, red-line tires, water pump, starter, steering wheel and hub, wiring, headlamps, convertible top, and top boot. Service in mid-2022 had included polishing the aluminum engine components and replacing the clutch, engine seals, exhaust manifolds, and exhaust system. Powered by a 3.8-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission, the roadster also features triple SU carburetors, a limited-slip differential, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, a push-button Blaupunkt AM/FM radio, and lap belts. The selling dealer acquired the vehicle in October 2025. This Series 1 XKE is now offered in California with a copy of its Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, recent service records, an owner’s handbook, and a Texas title that lists the car’s model year as 1964.

Delivered new in Opalescent Silver Gray, the car was repainted in red under previous ownership and was repainted again in 2023. The tan soft top, tan top boot, and weatherstripping and seals also were replaced in 2023, and Marchal headlamps were installed beneath the enclosed glass covers. The headlight wiring harness was replaced, the taillight wiring was repaired, and a luggage rack was installed. Features include a louvered clamshell hood, wraparound chrome bumpers, bright trim, a driver-side mirror, triple windshield wipers, a reverse light, and dual exhaust outlets.

Chrome-finished 15″ MWS wire wheels that were replaced in 2023 are secured with three-eared knock-offs and wrapped in 185R15 Coker Classic red-line tires. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs with inboard-mounted rear rotors; the brake master cylinder was replaced in 2022, and the system was rebuilt in 2023 with replacement of the calipers, pistons, and cylinders. Spax shocks were installed in October 2025.

The interior was refurbished in 2023, with the low-back bucket seats being retrimmed in red leather, and textured aluminum trim was fitted to the center console and the dashboard. Additional details include red carpeting, door-panel armrests, a heater/defroster, a sliding rearview mirror, lap belts, and a push-button Blaupunkt AM/FM radio. A battery-cutoff switch is installed under the driver seat.

The wood-rimmed steering wheel and its hub were replaced in 2023 along with the fuel-level sender and gauge. Instrumentation consists of a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer with an inset clock, and centrally mounted auxiliary gauges monitoring coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and amperage. The five-digit odometer shows 29k miles, approximately 75 of which were added by the selling dealer.

The 3.8-liter inline-six features dual overhead camshafts and triple SU carburetors. Service in 2022 included polishing the cam covers, intake manifold, and carburetor tops along with repainting the engine and engine accessories plus replacing the front and lower engine seals, the exhaust manifolds, engine mounts, coolant-expansion tank, and exhaust system. In 2023, the cylinder head was rebuilt, an aluminum radiator and an auxiliary electric cooling fan were installed, and the water pump, starter, fuel lines, ignition rotor, and spark plugs were replaced.

Power is directed to the rear wheels via a Moss four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The flywheel was resurfaced and the clutch and slave cylinder were replaced in 2022. The exhaust system was repaired in 2023.

A copy of the Jaguar Heritage Trust Production Record Trace certificate shows factory colors and options and cites the car’s dispatch date to New York on October 29, 1963.

The Texas title lists the vehicle’s model year as 1964 and notes the odometer reading as Exempt.
