Arguably representing the model in its purest form, this 1964 Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Fixed Head Coupe (FHC) is finished in Golden Sand over a Cinnamon leather interior and distinguished from later variants by glass-covered headlights, small “mouth” front grille, signal and tail lights mounted above bumpers, and rear centered exhaust pipes. While its earliest history is not well known, this E-Type is believed to have been sold new in California.
Purchased into previous ownership circa 2014, this car was subsequently sent to marque specialist Classic Showcase of Oceanside, California for a cosmetic and mechanical restoration. Documented by receipts on file, this E-Type was stripped and repainted in Golden Sand. The interior was retrimmed in Cinnamon leather and received additional insulation under a new carpet for sound deadening and heat absorption. The car's suspension was freshened, while the matching-numbers engine received similar attention.
Presenting exceptionally well today with additional recent invoices illustrating ongoing maintenance and care, this car also benefits from several discrete performance and comfort upgrades to bring the famed E-Type into the 21st century including a five-speed transmission, electric power steering, later-series seats, aluminum radiator, and new air conditioning system. Many original pieces are included as well, most notably the seats and a four-speed Moss 'box should the next custodian wish to return it to original specification. Ready for touring and rallies, this Series 1 E-Type is certainly a stylish way to do so.
