Description
In 1961, Enzo Ferrari famously described the Jaguar E-Type as “the most beautiful car of all time.”
The JAGUAR E-Type 3. 8, Series 1 “Flat Floor” FHC model presented here with series number 105 is one of only 398 LHD Coupes built.
For JAGUAR collectors and enthusiasts, the “Flat Floor” models from the first series from 1961 are among the most desirable, sought-after and beautiful E-Types ever. Automobile classics like the E-Type offered here in a fully restored condition form the basis of a guaranteed investment!
The “Nut & Bolt” restoration of this E-Type was carried out very lovingly at the highest level down to the smallest detail, took many years and was completed at the end of 2023 by a renowned specialist company that specializes in JAGUAR classics.
Extensive, very detailed photo documentation with around 2200 images is available covering the entire restoration work.

With all of the above-mentioned special features as well as the fantastic concours condition, this JAGUAR E-Type is one of the best quality and most authentic vehicles that can be found on the market.
The original color combination in “Opalescent Dark Green” as well as the interior with cognac brown leather, the dashboard made of solid embossed aluminum and the instruments surrounded by chrome rings are absolutely incomparable in their charisma and quality.
The very elegant car color appears from deep emerald green to black, depending on the lighting mood. A fantastic color combination that seems classic British, but is still quite rare on the market.
Final word:
This E-Type is aimed primarily at enthusiasts and collectors for whom only the best is good enough. The offer is extremely fair and attractive in terms of pricing! A JAGUAR E-Type as a “Flat Floor” model in a fully restored version and of the very high quality offered here is currently traded on the market for between €280, 000 to €300, 000 or even significantly higher.
After the restoration work was completed, the Jaguar was only driven a few kilometers for test drives and now stands as a collector's item in my classic car garage.
If you are seriously interested in the E-Type, please feel free to contact me and I will answer your questions very carefully and promptly. However, dubious or suspected fraudulent inquiries will not be answered! I would also ask you to refrain from various exchange offers.
Before completing the purchase, I ask you to view the car on site in my garage by appointment!
