Additional Information:
The E-Type was unveiled in March of 1961 at the Geneva Motor Show, following the famous 11th hour disorder (one of the cars was driven to the
show from England with just hours to spare). The car was an immediate sensation: its specification was state of the art, its bodywork arrestingly
gorgeous, and the price surprisingly affordable. It embodied William Lyons' values beautifully and it is no surprise that the E-Type has become such a
legendary part of automotive history. The specification clearly demonstrated Jaguar's racing experience and included independent suspension
all around (at a time when Ferrari was still using live rear axles), disc brakes all around (inboard at the rear to reduce unsprung weight), and of course
Jaguar's legendary twin cam inline-6. E-Types have been rapidly appreciating in recent years, with very early seeing particularly strong
appreciation.

This particular example has welded hood louvers instead of ones that were integral to the hood, distinguishing this as an early production car. A
matching numbers example, this car was comprehensively restored to high standards and is presented in black with black interior and top. The
current and long-term owner is a seasoned Jaguar restoration veteran, and since completion, showedthe car at The Quail, a Motorsport Gathering in
Carmel Valley in 2014. The restoration included every major system and aspect of the automobile, and the result is exceptional.

=======================

Cosmetically, the car is excellent and is suitable to be shown. The body is straight and displays excellent fit and gaps. The quality of the paintwork itself is excellent as well. The chrome is equally nice as are the glass and lights. The car has correct Lucas tribar headlamps fitted. The wheels are chromed and wear white wall tires with the appropriate aspect ratio to give the car an
evocative period appearance and correct stance. The top and boot are also fresh and show high caliber workmanship.

The interior was completely restored to the same high standards as the exterior with fresh leather and carpets. The correct materials, patterns, and
treatments were used throughout, from the vinyl behind the seats to the aluminum console and dash trim that was present on early 3.8 liter E-Types.
The dashboard was comprehensively restored as well, and all switches and instruments are in excellent condition. The steering wheel is freshly restored and sparkles.

The engine compartment is clean, detailed, and was correctly restored to high standards. The cylinder head has the correct gold finish, and the vulnerable finish on the exhaust manifolds is like new. The engine, accessories, and front subframe are all clean and freshly restored in appearance. The correct glass windscreen washer bottle is present (later ones were plastic). The cylinder head and block number stamps both match the chassis plate stamp. The trunk was also restored to high standards with excellent structure beneath the plywood trunk floor, and correct tan upholstery (E-Type roadster trunks were trimmed in tan regardless of interior color).

This is a superbly restored early production E- Type roadster that presents correctly but incorporates many subtle upgrades that enhance the usability and performance of the car without significantly detracting from the authentic
appearance of its presentation. Additionally, as such an early production example, it includes many features unique to early production E-Types. Included with the sale is the jack, tool kit, matching spare wheel, and significant documentation supporting the restoration work performed.

Mr Kolumist

I have been to the bank to make the payment of $25000 for you and the bank have denied the transfer to this account as it has been flagged as being associated with fraud.

I really want this car as its a very good price and investment to pass to my children. Do you have another account I could try and send the money to?

Harry

Quote:

Mr Kolumist

Do you make a habbit of making me look silly at the bank? Ive been again and the bank still refuse to make the payment to this account at its also associated with fraud.

Look Mr Kolumist, this car is far too good of an opportunity to pass up. Ive always wanted a classic jaguar and I couldnt believe my luck when this one came up so cheap.

I have $25,000 here destined to you for this car, please send me an account that I can send the money to that will work. Please dont sell the car to someone else!

Harry

He's now pushing for multiple payments of the $25k through Western Union, im not having none of it with that ammount of money. He's dug his heals in now with another bank account but im working on him.

Well that was 2 very easy piggies!
