1961 (outside latch) E Type roadster - 875117
Beautiful older restoration - fantastic value!
Year: 1961
Model: E Type roadster
Red/Biscuit

1961 Jaguar E Type roadster - Chassis # 875117

This very rare car was the subject of a ground up restoration by Predator Jaguar to concours standards. It has only been driven 2000 miles since the restoration was completed 7 years ago and it is still in absolutely excellent condition.

Although this is not a matching number car (has the correct 3.8 E Type engine but not the original) the restoration was done to original specifications throughout and the car shows extremely well.

Represents excellent value in today's market at only $55,000
