On occasion, our clients request for us to assist them with an acquisition of a specialty vehicle or the sale of one of theirs. One of the greatest sports cars of all time, the Jaguar E-Type is a true icon. This particular car comes to us on behalf of a longtime storage client. Its previous owner acquired it from the 2014 Gooding Auction at Amelia Island. Since then, it has been the recipient of a comprehensive restoration. The car presents & drives superbly. Finished in its original color combination of Carmen Red over Black interior. The car is fitted with its original numbers matching black, along with an unstamped replacement cylinder head, all of which is confirmed by the included Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate. The car is accompanied by its original jack, tool roll, reproduction owners manual, service poster, service records dating back to 2002 and extensive invoices from recently completed restoration. Panel fit is proper. The paint was done to high standards. The chrome is excellent throughout. The entire undercarriage of the car has been thoroughly restored and is very clean and detailed. The car runs and drives very well. The electric choke mechanism works properly and the car starts instantly cold or hot. The engine displays good oil pressure and is responsive and tractable, with nice even carburetion once warm. The clutch is progressive and easy to modulate and the gearbox has good synchromesh and well defined gates. The car is fitted with upgraded Wilwood brake calipers and the car stops capably with a high, even pedal. The chassis behaves as it should, with an excellent blend of compliance and control that feels surprisingly modern today, and must have felt downright transcendent in 1961.
