'Here we have one of the quietest and most flexible cars on the market, capable of whispering along in top gear at 10mph or leaping into its 150mph stride on the brief depression of a pedal. A practical touring car, this, with its wide doors and capacious luggage space, yet it has a sheer beauty of line which easily beats the Italians at their own particular game.'

This stunning E-Type left the works in December 1961 and was dispatched via Jaguar Cars, New York to its first owner, one R D Potley of West Islip, New York. According to the accompanying JDHT Certificate, the original colour scheme was Opalescent Silver Blue with contrasting dark blue interior and matching hood, a most attractive combination. The car's subsequent history is not known prior to circa 2003 when it was purchased by the Italian vendor. The latter wanted to restore the E-Type to its former glory, and entrusted the work to the specialists of the Centro Restauri Storici (CRS) near Cremona in Northern Italy. CRS employed a 'rotisserie' restoration technique and the result is nothing less than stunning. The body, interior, hood, and mechanicals were all comprehensively overhauled, and a photographic record of the restoration accompanies the car together with Italian registration documents and the aforementioned JDHT Certificate.

This early E-Type from the most desirable first series is presented in a rare and beautiful colour combination and deserves the closest inspection.
