Seller's comments

1961 Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Series 1 for sale!This stunningly restored example was brought back to life over many years of restoration. The 3.8 inline-six saw a complete recent rebuild, and runs like a swiss clock. It also has the crank-case modification to rid the engine from the problematic rope seal. As a result, it leaks no oil whatsoever. The triple SU carburetors are tuned to perfection, and it pulls as healthily as it did in the 60's. The four-wheel disc brakes also saw dramatic reconditioning, and do a stellar job of bringing this icon to a stop. The interior did not miss out on any restoration, and has period correct, imported two-stretch vinyl to boast. The metal surfaces and switches are all brand new and feel extremely premium to operate. There is not a single part in the interior out of place, inoperable, or broken. All the lights and hang-on parts are Lucas as per factory spec. Even the rear view mirror wears the iconic Lucas stamp. The spoked wheels are brand new, and present as such. Some more modifications to improve usability include: Lead-free conversion to run normal, easy-to-find 95-octane pump fuel.5-speed Getrag gearbox instead of the 4-speed non-synchromesh factory unit"Normal" size tires, which make it drive like a modern car.If you are looking for a pristine, fully restored flat-floor E-Type, look no further. It does not get better than this!
