1964 Jaguar

Overview

A beautifully restored and well-maintained late Series 1 3.8 Jaguar E-Type Fixed Head Coupe, combining strong originality with a carefully considered fast road specification.

Originally delivered new via Emil Frey in Zurich — Jaguar’s official Swiss distributor — the car was later exported to the United States before arriving in the UK in 1996. It subsequently underwent a comprehensive restoration, completed in 2016, transforming it into the striking example presented today.

Converted to right-hand drive and finished in Opalescent Dark Blue over grey upholstery, the car offers a highly desirable colour combination and a specification tailored for improved usability on modern roads.

This is a well-sorted, driver-focused E-Type, enhanced to deliver a more usable and engaging experience while retaining the character of the original 3.8-litre car.

The addition of a 5-speed gearbox, alongside a number of mechanical upgrades, makes it particularly well suited to touring and regular use — something the Fixed Head Coupe body style lends itself to particularly well.
