The tastefully modified Coupe features a highly attractive color combination of Dark Blue over a Red interior and has been comprehensively restored to a high-end Driver level by Jaguar professionals. The car has been driven sparingly since it’s restoration with only 1000 miles traveled for setup and sorting out, and is now ready to be driven, shown, and enjoyed!

History

The Series 1 was introduced, initially for export only, in March 1961. The domestic market launch came four months later in July 1961. It can be recognized by glass covered headlights (up to 1967), small "mouth" opening at the front, signal lights and tail-lights above bumpers and exhaust tips under the license plate in the rear. The earlier Series 1 E-types from 1961-3 are some of the most desirable of all the Series; It is a timeless example of class and elegance joined with the strong racing history that Jaguar has become so well known for.
