Our Take:
- Legendary Design: The 1963 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 captures the essence of the swinging '60s with its curvaceous, aerodynamic body—a true head-turner that even wowed Enzo Ferrari, who famously dubbed it "the most beautiful car ever made." The E-Type wasn't just about looks; it showcased pioneering engineering with its monocoque construction and independent rear suspension, setting the standard for future sports cars.
- Meticulous Restoration: This particular E-Type has undergone a complete nut and bolt rotisserie restoration by David Ferguson, a well-respected name among Jaguar enthusiasts. When a car is described as being in "Concours condition," you know it's been restored to perfection, with every detail painstakingly attended to—think of it as the automotive equivalent of a Michelangelo sculpture.
- Powerful and Original Engine: Under that long, elegant bonnet lies a matching numbers 3.8L engine. This engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, breathed life into the car with a trio of SU carburetors, enabling it to reach speeds that brushed the 150 MPH mark. For a car from the early '60s, that's downright exhilarating and speaks volumes about its engineering prowess.
- Pedigree and Provenance: Coming from a prominent collection, the car's condition and history are as impeccable as its performance. The inclusion of period-correct tools, a jack, and a spare, along with the original manual, adds an authentic touch—like finding a vintage timepiece that's still ticking as it did decades ago.
