This desirable Series I E-Type Roadster is finished in the ‘perfect’ color combination of British Racing Green with tan leather interior. It is a numbers-matching car, with the data plate matching the chassis number, the cylinder head and engine block with all numbers being verified by the accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate. The Jaguar was awarded its First Junior and Senior awards from the AACA in 2007 and it is properly sorted through and through. With its show-quality restoration and stunning finish, this example is certainly one of the finest. It comes complete with a black canvas top, matching boot, chrome wire wheels, and a period AM radio.

The Jaguar E-Type was like nothing else, before or since. With various iterations produced in three body styles over three different series, it is the early Open Two-Seaters that, in the eyes of many collectors, are the most desirable, with this particular one being an outstanding example of the marque.
