1963 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 3.8L Roadster***
This stunning 1963 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 3.8-liter Roadster is a
beautifully maintained, highly documented open two-seater that
offers the quintessential British sports car experience. Benefiting
from a meticulous, multi-year bare-metal refurbishment by the
marque specialists at Vintage Restorations of Union Bridge, this
XKE balances striking aesthetics with excellent road mannerisms and
localized modern preservation updates. It is accompanied by a
Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust (JDHT) certificate, an extensive file
of service records, and a clean Massachusetts title.
Overview & Restoration History *
?Refurbishment Era: A extensive, multi-year restoration was
completed between 2002 and 2015 by Vintage Restorations.
?Body & Paint: The body was completely stripped to bare metal and
refinished from its original factory Cream to a brilliant, deep
White finish. Brightwork and exterior trim pieces were
systematically replaced or replated during the process.
?Iconic Series 1 Details: Features a louvered forward-hinged hood,
recessed headlights with pristine clear covers, split
chrome-finished bumpers, triple windshield wipers, and rear bumpers
set below the classic taillights.
?Top & Boot: Equipped with an immaculate black soft top accompanied
by a matching snap-on boot cover.
Drivetrain, Engine & Mechanicals *
?Engine: The 3.8-liter inline-six was fully rebuilt during the
primary restoration. The cylinder head stamping reads R 8282-9,
confirming it matches the factory engine number documented on the
included Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate.
?Transmission: Power is sent to the rear wheels via a replacement
four-speed manual transmission that was completely rebuilt in July
2023. Additional drivetrain updates completed at that time include
a new bell housing, resurfaced flywheel, and a comprehensive clutch
component overhaul.
?Recent Engine Servicing (Post-2022): The vehicle has been dialed
in for absolute reliability with professionally adjusted triple SU
carburetors, an upgraded electronic ignition setup, and a brand-new
fuel pump.
?Exhaust: Upgraded with a durable, beautiful stainless steel dual
exhaust system that delivers a crisp, authentic exhaust note.
Chassis, Suspension & Wheels *
?Wheels: Gorgeous 15? chrome wire wheels secured with classic
two-eared knock-off spinners.
?Tires: Wrapped in period-correct 185-width Vredestein Sprint
Classic tires with excellent tread remaining.
?Suspension: A fully independent suspension system that was
completely overhauled during restoration to ensure tight,
predictable handling.
?Brakes: Four-wheel disc brakes with inboard-mounted rears provide
plenty of reliable stopping power.
?Recent Underside Care (June 2022): Received fresh rear wheel
bearings, new steering rack boots, and new upper control arm ball
joint boots to maintain flawless road feel.
Cockpit & Instrumentation***
?Upholstery: A striking, refreshed interior trimmed in rich red
leather across low-back bucket seats, color-coordinated center
console, door cards, and carpeting.
?Dash Finish: Accented with the highly desirable Series 1 textured
aluminum dashboard and center console fascia, housing a row of
classic toggle switches.
?Steering & Gauges: A wood-rimmed steering wheel frames beautiful
Smiths instrumentation, featuring a 160-mph speedometer and a
6k-rpm tachometer with an integrated analog clock. Auxiliary vital
gauges remain clear and functional.
?Audio: Outfitted with a vintage Blaupunkt AM/FM push-button radio
wired cleanly to twin speakers mounted on either side of the center
stack.
?Odometer: The five-digit odometer currently displays just over
12,000 miles since completion, though total chassis mileage is
unknown.
