Reimel Motor Cars is proud to offer this1961 Jaguar E-Type Series I
3.8-Litre Fixed Head Coupe Elegantly Presented in Opalescent Bronze
over Red Upholstery.
Highly Collectible Early Production Model | Beautifully Restored |
Matching-Numbers Engine
Debuting at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1961, the Jaguar E-Type
stunned the world with its revolutionary design and engineering.
Featuring a lightweight monocoque construction, twin-cam 3.8-litre
engine, four-wheel disc brakes, and independent suspension, the
earliest E-Types are the most desirable among collectors. These
early models boast unique attributes, including welded-in hood
louvers, flat floors, and a free-revving powertrain.
This exceptional example, the 221st left-hand-drive fixed head
coupe built, benefits from all these sought-after features.
Completed on November 21, 1961, it left the factory in the stunning
combination of Opalescent Bronze over Red and was originally
dispatched to Jaguar Cars of New York, where it found its first
owner.
Though its early history remains largely unknown, the car was
acquired by UK marque specialists New Forest Classic Cars in 2011
and underwent a meticulous 2,800-hour restoration between 2013 and
2015. The restoration included a new front subframe (with the
original numbered section retained and accompanying the car), while
the exterior was refinished in its original Opalescent Bronze over
Red upholstery.
According to the accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust (JDHT)
Certificate, this E-Type retains its matching-numbers engine,
adding to its authenticity and value. Presented in its original
specification and fitted with a set of outside-laced wire wheels,
this early-production Series I E-Type remains as breathtaking and
sought-after today as it was 64 years ago.
