Used For Sale at Auction: 1961 Jaguar E-Type for sale in Monteira

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' The S�ragga Collection event, 20 - 21 September 2019. Estimate: €140,000 - €160,000 The first E-Type Fixed-Head Coup� delivered to and registered in Portugal Retains its original engine and finished in original colours Presented here is one of the first one hundred E-Type coup�s built largely by hand at Jaguar's Coventry facility. Registered in November 1961, the left-hand-drive car is also the very first E-Type Fixed-Head Coup� to be registered in Portugal. Perhaps most important, it was built prior to February 1962 and is an early 'flat floor' example so coveted by collectors. The car has been restored to its original colour scheme of Opalescent Grey over a Carmine Red leather interior, and importantly, the car retains its original engine with matching-numbers head and block. The restoration was completed over a period of five years using genuine Jaguar parts whenever possible. A true highlight of Mr. S�ragga's collection, this is an extraordinary opportunity to purchase an important example of an early E-Type, beautifully restored in its stunning original factory colours.
