Auction description:

1961 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 (FHC) Flat Floor - Chassis #60

A unique opportunity to take ownership of chassis #60 on the 60th anniversary of the E-Type.

LIVE AUCTION: Saturday 27th March | 11.00am GMT

Beautiful home market, right-hand drive, ‘flat floor’ fixed-head coupe

Finished in original colours, Opalescent Gunmetal with a red leather interior

Chassis number 60 of 175 right-hand drive ‘flat floor’ Coupés emerging from 43 years ownership

Enjoyed for many years before a complete ground-up restoration was commenced in 2000

Accompanied by a history file with photographs of the restoration works, invoices, old MOTs and the current V5

Offered with some spares including the original radio (to be installed), fitted car cover and a collection of E-Type literature.

Emerging from 43 years of private ownership, this beautiful, early home market 3.8 Fixed Head Coupe is finished in the classic colour combination of Opalescent Gunmetal Grey with a red leather interior. Manufactured in 1961 and first registered on 1st January 1962, Chassis 860060 is an early ‘flat floor’ example, one of the first 175 Coupes built before the recessed footwells were adopted and one of just 1,559 right-hand drive, 3.8 Coupes constructed in total, so rather a rare car in its own right.

Offered as part of a deceased estate, further details of this interesting E-Type will be updated over time. For now, it is believed that this example is finished in original colours, retains matching numbers and details will be confirmed with factory records in due course.

Accompanying the car is a history file including some old MOTs, invoices for restoration works, photographs taken during the restoration, copies of old logbooks and a current registration V5c. Also forming part of the sale is a collection of books, mostly restorers guides, reference books and parts manuals. What appears to be the original stereo and some other assorted spares are also included along with a high-quality fitted car cover.

For now, early Roadsters command a higher value than their solid top siblings although the early Coupe’s purity of line renders it as undoubtedly the more beautiful. Perhaps this gap will narrow over time with early cars certainly the most desirable and rightfully forming part of any notable classic car collection. This is a unique opportunity to take ownership of chassis #60, on the 60th Anniversary of the Jaguar E-Type.

Seller's description:

Stratton Motor Company are delighted to be able to offer this classic piece of British motoring history, the 1961 'Series 1' Jaguar E-Type 3.8litre Fixed Head Coupe which has just come into stock.

This model also had the 'Flat Floor' between the front of the drivers seat and the pedals that was later re-designed and sculptured.

Only 175 right hand drive Coupes were ever made and this is number 60.

This particular car was supplied on 18th December 1961 by Henley's of London and potentially an early Christmas present for someone and has recently been registered with the Jaguar Heritage Trust.

Finished in Gunmetal Grey it has a lovely contrasting classic 'Ox Blood' Red leather interior including carpets and the 'Toggle' switch dashboard common on to the early E-Types.

A complete ground up restoration was commenced in 2000 and it remains in a beautiful condition, clearly only ever being used on special occasions and sunny days. An old MOT shows mileage in 1998 as being 1071, and yet now just 2890 so just 1800 miles in 27 years.

The file shows just two former keepers in it's 64year life which is quite remarkable.

Powered by a 3.8litre straight six twin cam engine developing 265bhp this car is capable of reaching 60mph in just 6.9 seconds with a top speed of around 150mph, remarkable for its day.

A beautiful and well cared for example of this sought after classic.

The car will be supplied fully serviced with a comprehensive 6 months parts and labour warranty, along with MOT and RAC Roadside/Recovery for complete peace of mind.
