SUMMARY

On offer from The Devon Collection.

DESCRIPTION

  • Finished in its original shade of Carmen Red with a tan interior
  • Manufactured on the 18/10/1961 and supplied by Henlys of London to GC Cussens of Enfield, Middlesex
  • Restored some years ago to an excellent standard by XK Engineering in Coventry with all invoices present and a photographic record on file
  • Works outlined include a full engine rebuild, diff overhaul, and a full body refurbishment including a new bonnet
  • The comprehensive history file includes the Heritage Certificate, restoration invoices and a photographic record of the rebuild
  • Having formed part of The Devon Collection in recent years, a change in direction by the present custodian provides the opportunity for a Jaguar enthusiast/classic car collector to acquire a superbly presented E-Type that has been professionally rebuilt and is now looking for its next enthusiastic keeper

Finished in Carmen Red, this particular 1961 E-Type 3.8 'Flat Floor' Roadster originally supplied by Henlys to GC Cussens of Enfield, Middlesex is an older restoration but one that has clearly been very well cared for over the years and is in superb order throughout. Refurbished by XK Engineering of Coventry some thirty years ago, the Jaguar has received later enhancements further down the line such as an uprated cooling system and attention to the brakes for a sharper feel, something that was lacking back in the day, but now with vented front brake discs and more appropriate brake calipers, a more positive feel is achieved whilst out on the open road.  Complete with large history file which includes a Heritage Certificate, invoices and photographs from XK Engineering and a video - remember those - showing an appearance in The Avengers, this is a beautiful Jaguar that is now looking for its next ‘John Steed’, Bowler hat in place, to slip behind the wheel.
