- Rare Jaguar Type E 3.8 série 1 "Flat Floor" sold new in France by Royal Elysées in Paris

- A real barn find after a long 54-year sleep in one of France's finest collections ; exhibited at the Châtellerault museum from 1970 until its closure in 1989, then in the collection's reserves for 34 years

- Purchased by Bernard de Lassée, one of Europe's pioneering collectors and founder of the FIVA, the Musée du Mans and the Musée de Châtellerault! Still in the same family today!

- Matching engine not blocked. Remarkable state of preservation, never damaged (original sashes) nor modified, with the exception of a veil of Opalescent blu paint in the first years of its life, replacing the rare Opalescent bronze

- Extremely well-preserved upholstery, complete on-board instrumentation, 53,150 km on the odometer, certainly original

- A unique opportunity to acquire one of the very first examples delivered new in France and never modified since
