Vehicle Description

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION at RM Sothebys' Paris event, 5 February 2020.
Estimate:
€160,000 - €200,000

  • Beautifully presented in its original colours
  • Retains its original engine
  • Mechanically sorted and ready to be enjoyed


Manufactured on 10 May 1962 and dispatched just two weeks later, on 24 May, this stunning Series 1 E-Type 3.8-Litre Roadster is presented now as it was when delivered. It was specified in the eye-catching colour of Opalescent Silver Blue over a dark blue interior and blue hood, and its first owner, JD Hirsh, ordered the car via Jaguar Cars New York.

While much of its early history is not known, this E-Type Roadster made its way to Europe and resided for an extended period with an owner in Luxembourg. At some point the car was repainted red. It was acquired by the consignor from a well-known collector in Luxembourg three years ago, and he appointed the specialists at Carrozzeria Sports Car in Modena, Italy, to undertake a return to its original colour, as detailed by its accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate. In addition, the mechanics have been checked and addressed where needed by a Jaguar specialist in Modena, and it is said to run and drive beautifully.

Stunning in its original colour scheme, this car was made for the open road, and it is ready to take on any journey the new owner has planned.



  • D'une allure magnifique avec ses coloris d'origine

  • Toujours �quip�e de son moteur d'origine

  • R�vis�e m�caniquement ; pr�te � se faire appr�cier


Cette splendide Type E S�rie 1 3,8 litres cabriolet fut produite le 10 mai 1962 et exp�di�e tout juste deux semaines plus tard, le 24 mai. Elle a d�sormais retrouv� l'allure qui �tait la sienne lors de sa livraison, une teinte attirante, le bleu clair Opalescent Silver Blue, avec un int�rieur bleu nuit et une capote bleue, celle que son premier propri�taire, JD Hirsh, avait command�e aupr�s de Jaguar Cars New York.

Le d�but de son historique n'est pas connu mais, par la suite, cette Type E cabriolet revint en Europe et resta longtemps entre les mains d'un propri�taire r�sidant au Luxembourg. A un moment, elle fut repeinte en rouge. Il y a trois ans, elle fut acquise par son vendeur au Luxembourg aupr�s d'un collectionneur connu et fut confi�e aux sp�cialistes de la Carrozzeria Sports Car de Mod�ne, en Italie, pour lui restituer ses couleurs d'origine, telles que mentionn�es dans le certificat d�livr� par la fondation du patrimoine Jaguar Daimler. La m�canique a par ailleurs �t� v�rifi�e et trait�e quand il le fallait par un sp�cialiste Jaguar de Mod�ne ; il est dit qu'elle fonctionne et roule � merveille.

Cette voiture, magnifique dans son harmonie de teintes d'origine, est faite pour la route, et elle est pr�te � entreprendre tout voyage que son futur propri�taire aura pr�vu.To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/pa20.
