I owned this car prior to 2005. The cylinder head is original to the car, but the block is not. The transmission is also the later 4 speed synchromesh box rather than the original 4 speed Moss crash box. I purchased it in 1988 and traded it for a car in San Diego in 2005. The car had a lot of original things about it, like the grease marker on the firewall behind the carbs (body no.) as well as the original convertible boot (also had the body number in grease marker on the underside -- I'll never forget that).

The car had the original paint on it when I had it, opalescent silver blue, with a navy interior. The convertible top had been replaced, it was black, but the convertible boot was the original navy, as the convertible top should have been. Beautiful color combination. This car being a later 1964, it also had the black on the dash instead of the shiny aluminum -- all original of course.

Beautiful original bodywork on this car; and the opalescent silver blue with the dark blue interior is striking. Also, it had the original convertible top boot included, and it still had the body number in grease marker on the underside of the boot; so the convertible top was a dark blue as well to match the interior. When I purchased the car in 1988, it had an aftermarket black top without the tan sewn in convertible liner.

1963 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 3.8 Roadster

Sold for US$ 128,800 inc. premium

The Scottsdale Auction

17 Jan 2019

Chassis no. 880027

Engine no. RA7406-9 (see text)

*Beautiful Opalescent Silver-Blue paint with Dark Blue interior

*Fitted with upgraded synchromesh transmission

*Stunning Series I E-Type Roadster ready to be shown at Concours events or driven on rallies

*Accompanied by Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, service manual and tool kit

Completed at Jaguar's Browns Lane works on August 26, 1963, this lovely Series I 3.8-Liter Roadster was finished in the splendid color scheme of Opalescent Silver-Blue exterior over Dark Blue hides, a livery still seen on the car today. Destined for the United States, the original owner is regrettably unknown with current records. It is reported, however, that the car entered a period of long-term ownership beginning in 1988 and continuing until 2005. Residing under the hood is an alternative engine block, but what is believed to be the original cylinder head is still fixed atop the cylinders. For the benefit of the operator, the original Moss box has been replaced with a newer synchromesh 4-speed which allows much greater smoothness between speeds. More recently, the vehicle received a fresh coat of paint in its correct factory delivered color. Furthermore, mechanical odds and ends received attention, and with a new exhaust system, this Jaguar really purrs.

The head-turning presence of the E-Type is undeniable. For nearly 60 years this Jaguar has endured as one of the most coveted automobiles by enthusiasts the world over and its staying power amongst collectors ensures their value for many more decades to come. Do not miss the opportunity to get behind the wheel of a stunning classic like the one presented before you.

Saleroom notices Please note, this vehicle is titled under the model year 1964.

Our Quick Condition Guide - (Condition Rating Scale: #1 Perfect, #2 Near Perfect driver, #3 Excellent driver, #4 Nice driver, #5 Needs Work, #6 Parts. Each section is rated based on the type of vehicle it represents being part of.)

Overview Of Entire Vehicle: *Condition #2

This is an absolutely beautiful 1964 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 3.8L Roadster that is in amazing condition inside and out. This car was completely restored from front to back and top to bottom within the last few years. With an amazing job done on the restoration, as it appears it started off as a very nice car before. This car is accompanied by its Original Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate showing it was an original Opalescent Silver Blue with a Dark Blue leather Interior and a Blue Top, which is currently is as it was restored back to the factory standards. The restoration was recently done and whoever did it really knew what they were doing as it is a very high quality job. It is not a number one car but it is a great number two car that you can drive, enjoy and be very proud of. This car is on consignment from one of our very good customers, he purchased it and wasn't sorted out completely mechanically so he gave us the car and a month later almost $10k later we got the car in perfect mechanical condition ready to drive. We put over 100 a miles on the car test driving it and it drives amazing. When the car was ready to go our customer had already bought something else and was ready to sell this one. Somebody is getting a really good car that is ready to go and you do not need to make excuses for as you can just jump in it and drive it to enjoy today. 

The car comes with its original service manual and original complete tool kit. The car was built in 1963 and got to the states in late 1963, so it is titled as a 1964 since it was imported so late is the reason we believe. We do not know much on the history of the car but what we do know from some of the records we got with the car is the original owner is unknown. Current records report it shows there was long-term ownership from 1988-2005. The car shows 28k miles and we were told it could possibly be original miles but we cannot guarantee that. Everything works in the car and it is in great mechanical condition through out. The factory wire wheels and white wall tires really set the car off appearance wise and is one of the prettiest E-Types we have seen in a long time. The E-Type Jaguar was known as one of the most beautiful cars ever built to a lot of publications and people, as it is really just a true piece of art.

Options/Equipment:

3.8L 6 Cylinder Engine

Upgraded Syncrhomesh 4-speed Manual Transmission

Two Hard Covered Books and Binders come with the car to use in shows or have on your coffee table to feature it.

Exterior: *Condition #2

The exterior on this car is in absolutely gorgeous finished in its original color of Opalescent Blue Silver. This is a very high dollar paint job put on the car with an amazing finish and would definitely cost $30k plus to have it done today. It is hand rubbed to a smooth finish with beautiful fit and finish through out the body with excellent gaps. All of the chrome on the car is concours quality, all of the lenses are new and all of the trim is in excellent condition giving this car just a very beautiful look. The glass is all in beautiful condition with all new rubbers everywhere. This exterior is just a top notch show quality finish that turns heads everywhere it goes. The chrome wire wheels appear to be the original ones as they show a little patina on the spokes but are in very nice beautiful condition with newer white wall tires on them which really set it aside. Overall the exterior is just a very straight and very clean car that is sure to please any future owner.

Interior: *Condition #2

The interior is absolutely gorgeous done in its factory color of Dark Blue Leather and is very high quality leather and the correct grain that is supposed to be in the car. The Carpets are all high grade and the dash is absolutely beautiful giving the interior a stunning look. Everything works inside the car from all the gauges to the radio, wipers, heater, directional and horn. The wood wheel is original and has a couple little flaws in it which we show in the video. The correct dark blue top boot is included with the beautiful dark blue convertible top that is done in the correct material and the frame on it has been all restored and in great condition. Inside the trunk has been all restored with all the correct material and is very highly detailed inside including its fifth wire wheel spare and the original tool kit that looks to be complete in the trunk still

Mechanically: *Condition #2-

Mechanically this car is in absolute amazing condition as we recently just this last month spent $10k at one of the top specialty mechanics in town. Completely going through this car from front to back making sure it is in tip top shape for somebody to jump in and drive without having any issues. They went through the brakes, the fuel system, tuned the car and went through all the electrical system. It is in top shape to drive and you don't need to spend a dollar on it to drive it. Under the hood is beautifully detailed and very nice as it is all completely stock and correct and is highly detailed. The engine is a 3.8L 6 cylinder that does not have the numbers matching block but they do believe it is the original cylinder head. We are not selling a concours car so it should not make that big of a difference. The transmission was upgraded from the original moss box to a newer synchromesh 4-speed that allows greater smoothness between gears and it does shift smooth. The brakes work good and this car is just overall in excellent mechanical condition.

Under Carriage: *Condition #2-

This Under Carriage on this vehicle is very clean and has a brand new highly polished exhaust system on it that sounds amazing. You can see the suspension on it has been rebuilt from front and rear when the car was restored. With the pans on the car appearing to be original with factory correct undercoating on them. Overall the car looks to be very solid with no repairs that we have noticed at all, this car is sure to be enjoyed by its new owner.
