Collection de Monsieur Alain C. - Lots 29 à 35 Expecting only the best, Mr. Alain C. bought cars of great distinction, preferring the beauty of their elegant, discreet lines to the flashy virtues of sculptural Italians. He did, of course, indulge in a few whimsical American cars, but always made sure that avant-gardism in all its forms was a priority. With no cost limits and a sure taste, he has assembled a collection that leaves no place for ambiguity. In his Sologne estate, the office is an extension housing trophies, vintage cars, one-off models made to order, bronzes and reference books. A personal universe where everything comes together, everything is magnified. Like a stranger invited to discover the premises, I was taken aback by the atmosphere that emanated, a mixture of opulence and refinement, rubbing shoulders with the too much and the just enough to reach the sublime, let's not mince words!

1962 Jaguar E-Type Series I 3.8

Estimate €150,000 - €200,000

Aguttes - Tour Auto 2025, Paris, France, 7 April, 2025

Lot 45

Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful examples we have had the pleasure of presenting, this E-Type is also the one offering the greatest versatility thanks to its extensive preparation, allowing it exceptional performance and ease of use. Purchased by a prominent Franco-Swiss collector in 2017, the car will undergo a makeover with the adoption of variable-assist steering, a five-speed Tremec gearbox, and more efficient brakes. The modifications don't stop there, with an improved cooling system and extensive work on the running gear to optimize its handling and steering feedback.

The interest in this example lies not only in its preparation. Indeed, this car was delivered new in Rome in April 1962, in a Carmen Red color scheme with a beige leather interior. Its history is perfectly clear and documented: after its stay in Italy, the car was purchased in 1981 by Erich Traber, one of Europe's greatest collectors and director of the Graber Company. At the time, the car still wore its original paint and interior, and had only just over 20,000 certified kilometers, making it one of the lowest-mileage examples in the world.

This is what attracted our collector, who wanted to start from an exceptional base to create the E-Type of his dreams.

Following his purchase, the car will be fully restored, the body repainted in this very elegant Burgundy Red shade with custom-made ostrich leather upholstery. Of course, the carpets, dashboard, center console, and soft top will receive the same exacting care.

Serviced just before the sale (engine no. R 5191-8, matching), this exceptional car is intended for a discerning collector looking for a car capable of traveling thousands of kilometers without fear of fatigue. Reliable, high-performance, and easy to handle, its appearance and refinement should also appeal to anyone who hasn't yet dared to take the plunge into classic cars... Don't hesitate any longer, this car, built without limits, is an incredible machine, enjoyable and addictive!
