This is an original American-delivered 1964 Jaguar E-Type Series 1. It is finished in (professionally re-sprayed) 'Maroon' burgundy paint and a beige leather interior. A tasteful colour combination that looks even better in real life than in the photos! Indeed, in the sun the colour sometimes appears brighter than in reality. This iconic car was delivered specifically in California and has remained there for almost its entire life. The dry climate kept it in very good condition. In 2018, the car left California and was shipped to the Netherlands and subsequently registered on Dutch registration plates. The owner has spared no expense to perfect this Jaguar and bring it into top condition. For instance, the engine was recently completely overhauled, the fuel lines replaced and the carburettors completely overhauled at ´The Classic Way´ in Hilversum (NL).
The overall condition is therefore impressive with a deep glossy paintwork and excellent finish. The bodywork is solid and damage-free with good seams. The chrome window surround is in good and original condition. The front and rear bumper have been re-chromed and the chrome wire wheels have been expertly polished. The instruments like the speedometer, tachometer, coolant temperature, oil pressure gauge, petrol gauge, voltmeter and even another analogue clock are of very good quality.
Much about its American life can be found in the many documentation present. Think of old invoices showing, for example, that the car was co-maintained in America by Jaguar specialist Jim Groom. Everything that was tackled on Dutch soil is also fully documented through photos and invoices. In addition, the 'Heritage Certificate', manuals, informative documents and registration papers are present.
Today, with 9970 miles on the odometer (about 200 miles since the engine overhaul was completed), the car presents itself as a perfectly driving icon in as good as new condition. Fitting for any collection!
Below is general information about the Jaguar E-Type
Launched in 1961, the Jaguar E-Type quickly became an icon in the automotive world. With its seductive styling, powerful engines and impressive performance, the E-Type captured the hearts of car enthusiasts worldwide. Enzo Ferrari's statement that it was the most beautiful car ever built is famous among car enthusiasts. It was thus considered one of the most beautifully designed cars ever and also provided pioneering technology, such as independent suspension and disc brakes. The car competed with exclusive cars from brands like Ferrari and Aston Martin but cost a fraction of what competitors cost at the time. The E-Type's successful racing career and prominent owners, including celebrities like Steve McQueen also contributed to its status as a legendary sports car. The Jaguar E-Type's legacy lives on as a timeless symbol of elegance and speed.
