Something looks strange with this car - mainly the tyres and wheels etc..... not 100%

I think the owner has put a 60-series tire on the original wheels, which to your eye and mine probably looks odd. I like my vintage cars with tall skinny tires, but that's a personal preference.

Lot 251
1964 JAGUAR E-TYPE SERIES 1 3.8-LITER ROADSTER
Chassis no. 880500

Presented in its original color scheme of Silver Blue over Dark Blue hides, this is a fine example of an early XKE with matching numbers and offered from long term ownership.

Originally, the car was built at the Coventry works on November 5th, 1963 and dispatched for the USA nine days later. Arriving on these shores, it was delivered new through Jaguar Cars of New York to its first owner, Mr. Steven Heltzer of Lawrence, New York, in the Long Beach area of Long Island. Its Jaguar Daimler Heritage Certificate confirms all of these details and denotes that a matched dark blue interior and blue top completed its first guise.

We understand that the car has remained in the US all of its life, with over two decades spent with an owner in Texas. In the late 1990s the car received a complete restoration by the owner of an acknowledged expert restorer of British cars, Harry Warren, appropriately of Buckingham Palace in Dallas, Texas. On its completion, the car would reward the then owner with a handful of Jaguar Club North America awards including 1st in Class 16 and People's Choice, and was judged to 99.96 points. Shortly after this the car passed into its present hands.

As offered today, this XKE has seen limited use in recent times but remains in very clean order throughout. An early, 3.8-liter, covered headlight Roadster with the desired early dash layout, presented in its original and attractive colors, this car offers a great way to experience the E-Type legend.
