Seller's description :
Great opportunity to buy a flat floor welded louver E-type and either keep as a driver or at some point restore. The early car market is strong - so if you are thinking of an E-type investment - hard not to consider an early car which when fully restored sells for $350-400k. This is a running, driving, matching numbers car. Not to be missed by the serious collector!

1961 Jaguar E-Type Series I 'Flat-Floor' with Welded Bonnet Louvers

This 1961 Jaguar E-Type Series I 'Flat-Floor' with Welded Bonnet Louvers is a fully matching numbers example. The Series I flat-floors were the earliest E-Types manufactured. Less than 2,000 flat-floor units in total rolled off the production line in Coventry that came to an end before the year was out. The earlier flat-floor models also had welded bonnet louvers, which were changed to pressed louvers later that year as well. This particular flat-floor XKE is a left-hand drive that is one of the production of only 1,400 in total. The rarity of these Series I XKE flat-floor versions makes them all the more desirable today. Chassis Number 875856 was manufactured on October 20, 1961 and was delivered to T. T. Tuford via Jaguar of Eastern Canada, Montreal. A striking driver quality example that maintains its storied authenticity, it is draped in an elegant red finish with a black soft top and newly upholstered maroon leather interior and wearing redline tires. It's also recently received a thorough tune-up, oil change and is ready for immediate enjoyment or as a blue-chip investment that will only escalate with time. The E-Types remain the most desirable street cars Jaguar has ever produced; this fact simply cannot be overstated. Spanning a 14-year reign and three series, it is the Series I examples that continue to be the most valuable and clamored for. Of those cars, the introductory, flat-floor E-Types are the most sought-after, and chassis number 875856 is one of those.
