Rare E-Type 3.8 Roadster restoration project with confirmed Matching Numbers & extensive Series-1 parts package
Rare E-Type 3.8 Roadster restoration project with confirmed Matching Numbers & extensive Series-1 parts package
For personal reasons, other priorities are currently taking precedence for us. We have therefore decided, with a heavy heart, to place our restoration project in new, committed hands.
For sale is a Jaguar E-Type Series 1, 3.8-litre Roadster/Convertible restoration project that has already been completely dismantled and on which restoration has begun.
It is precisely the combination of 3.8-litre engine, Roadster body and confirmed matching numbers that makes this project a special opportunity for Jaguar E-Type enthusiasts and connoisseurs.
Additionally, an extensive parts package from another 1965 Jaguar E-Type Series 1, 3.8-litre Fixed Head Coupé is included in the sale. This comprises numerous components that have already been refurbished or renewed and therefore provides a considerable additional stock of parts for the restoration.
The Jaguar E-Type Roadster on offer
The vehicle on offer is a Jaguar E-Type Series 1, 3.8-litre Roadster/Convertible and was imported from the USA into the EU in 2008 and duly customs-cleared. The American vehicle documents are available.
The Roadster has already been completely dismantled, and restoration has begun. This gives the new owner the opportunity to build the vehicle according to their own ideas and desired quality standards on the basis of a restoration that has already been started. The body is currently still in an extensive state of restoration. Some sections have already been cut out and replaced with new panels, while other areas still require considerable restoration work.
Of particular note is the response from the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust (JDHT): according to this, the engine number, chassis number and body number correspond to one another.
A corresponding Heritage Certificate has already been applied for and will of course be made available upon receipt.
The existing gearbox number does belong to this model, but is not assigned to the existing chassis number.
Of particular interest to connoisseurs
The correspondence of the engine, chassis and body numbers confirmed by the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust makes this restoration project particularly interesting for enthusiasts who value the identity and history of a classic Jaguar.
Combined with the Roadster specification and the 3.8-litre straight-six, the vehicle offers a particularly interesting basis for a high-quality restoration.
The vehicle is expressly offered as a restoration project in its current condition. The current condition, the extent of restoration carried out to date and the available parts can be thoroughly inspected during a personal viewing.
Additionally: extensive Jaguar E-Type Series 1, 3.8-litre Fixed Head Coupé – parts package
The offer also includes an extensive parts package from a 1965 Jaguar E-Type Series 1, 3.8-litre Fixed Head Coupé.
It is an original US import with the original 3.8-litre straight-six engine and gearbox.
This vehicle has also already been completely dismantled. Numerous components have been professionally refurbished or renewed. Many of the available parts are labelled and sorted in packaging, which can considerably facilitate the further restoration.
