Matching Numbers Jaguar E-Type Series 1 3.8 Convertible
The 1961 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 3.8 Convertible belongs to the very first generation of this legendary model and is regarded worldwide as one of the most iconic sports cars ever built. This early Open Two Seater is equipped with the characteristic 3.8-liter inline six-cylinder engine with three SU H8 carburetors, coupled to a 4-speed manual gearbox that drives the rear wheels. This is a matching numbers example that was restored in the past, involving both technical and cosmetic work. Several well-thought-out upgrades have been applied, such as an aluminium radiator, electronic ignition, an extra fan, and a stainless steel exhaust system, contributing to improved reliability and driving experience. The car has been with the same owner for a considerable time and is in good, drivable condition.
The exterior was repainted during the restoration and presents a beautiful shine and an even colour scheme, complemented by light signs of use consistent with an older restoration. The bodywork features tight panel gaps and the chrome displays a well-maintained appearance with a subtle patina. The classic and timeless lines of the E-Type are beautifully showcased, thanks in part to the stylish 72-spoke chrome wire wheels. The interior is finished in blue leather, combined with matching carpets and a black dashboard, creating a fine contrast with the exterior. Details such as the Moto-Lita sports steering wheel and a mounted trip master give the whole a sporty and authentic character. The mohair soft top is in good condition and comes with a cover, guaranteeing open-top driving in style. Are you looking for a 1961 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 3.8 Convertible?
