Presenting a truly remarkable 1963 Series 1 3.8-litre E-type that has undergone an extensive nut and bolt rebuild under the expert care of Chathams in 2011. This stunning car has been lovingly maintained, with regular monthly outings (weather permitting) and otherwise kept in secure storage. However, the time has come for this magnificent automobile to venture out into the world, as the owner no longer plans to embark on the continental journey it was initially intended for.
Originally sold by Fattori & Montani in Rome, Italy, this E-type made its way to the UK and was registered in 2005. During the meticulous rebuild, the current owner made two subtle yet significant modifications to enhance the car's appeal. Firstly, larger rear arches were added, reminiscent of the E-Type rally car, allowing for wider rear wheels. Secondly, the once dull black roof was transformed into a vibrant red that harmonizes with the interior, elevating this car—already considered one of the top 11 best-looking cars of all time according to esteemed individuals at Goodwood—to a true head-turner that would captivate even non-petrolheads.
Accompanying the sale is a comprehensive album of pictures, meticulously documenting each stage of the rebuild, along with the highly sought-after Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate. Don't miss this opportunity to own a piece of automotive history that combines breathtaking aesthetics with unparalleled craftsmanship.
