Vehicle Description
1961 Jaguar E-Type Series I 'Flat-Floor' with Welded Bonnet
LouversThis 1961 Jaguar E-Type Series I 'Flat-Floor' with Welded
Bonnet Louvers is a matching numbers example. The Series I
flat-floors were the earliest E-Types manufactured. Less than 2,000
flat-floor units in total rolled off the production line in
Coventry that came to an end before the year was out. The earlier
flat-floor models also had welded bonnet louvers, which were
changed to pressed louvers later that year as well. This particular
flat-floor XKE is a left-hand drive that is one of the production
of only 1,400 in total. The rarity of these Series I XKE flat-floor
versions makes them all the more desirable today. Chassis Number
875856 was manufactured on October 20, 1961 and was delivered to T.
T. Tuford via Jaguar of Eastern Canada, Montreal. Today, chassis
875856 would benefit from paintwork and chrome work as both are
showing their age at this time. The motor runs strong and with some
cosmetic recommissioning the car could easily be taken to driver
quality level. Red with black soft top and newly upholstered maroon
leather interior and wearing redline tires. It's also recently
received a thorough tune-up, oil change. A straight, solid,
original, and honest example. The E-Types remain the most desirable
street cars Jaguar has ever produced; this fact simply cannot be
overstated. Spanning a 14-year reign and three series, it is the
Series I examples that continue to be the most valuable and
clamored for. Of those cars, the introductory, flat-floor E-Types
are the most sought-after, and chassis number 875856 is one of
those. CHASSIS NO: 875856 Rare early Jaguar XKE flat-floor example
