Auction description;
Brooklands Motor Museum
July 7th 2018
Lot 200 - 1961 Jaguar E-Type Series I Roadster 'Flat Floor'
Registration AOD 22A
Chassis Number 876189
Engine Number R 2776-9
Estimate £120,000 - £150,000

Originally despatched from Jaguar Cars on 5th December 1961 to their dealer in New York, this 'Flat Floor' E-Type was repatriated to the UK and registered on 1st November 1989. It appears she was restored in the late 1980s and at that time, had a colour change from the original Opalescent Silver Blue to the current colour of red and black interior. Now in right hand drive format, we are advised by the vendor she appears to be a quite sound example and runs well, although she has been used very little over the last few years and would benefit from some time and financial investment. Early Series I E-Types continue to attract commanding prices and this Jaguar appears to be attractively estimate given the fact she is a 1961 'Flat Floor' example.
