Seller's description:

The color combination of this Jaguar E type is perhaps one of the most classic, iconic and timeless that one can imagine, but for this very reason it remains one of the most fascinating, and often associated with the myth of Diabolik. The black Jaguars were sold in large numbers precisely for the ideal combination of the comic created in those years, and it is still the first thought of those who see it darting along the street today!

04/1963

Chassis number 888479

Engine RA 1624-9

Subject of a total restoration between 2018 and 2020, the car is finished and ready to be run in, it retains many original parts, including all the original blued glass, and all the numbers that the production wrote in pastel behind the instruments and underneath. the dashboard to then recognize on which car they were mounted.
