Highlights
After Jaguar’s utter dominance at the 24 Hours of Le Mans throughout the 1950s, engineers set about developing a production version of their champion racecars. The new car borrowed heavily from the venerated D-Type—Le Mans winner from 1955–57—including its monocoque construction. Revolutionary in its day, the aeronautically inspired design consisted of a front subframe—carrying the engine, front suspension, and steering assembly—bolted directly to the body tub. This new design not only lightened the car but also lowered its center of gravity for excellent cornering.
Also helping with its handling, the rear suspension was fully independent, using jointed axles as upper links and tubular lower links, with twin coil springs and shocks on each side. Four-wheel Dunlop disc brakes were standard, with the aft rotors being mounted inboard, astride the rear differential, for superior weight distribution. Power came from the race-proven Jaguar XK engine, here displacing 3.8 liters and fed by a trio of SU carburetors.
The jaw-dropping body by decorated aerospace engineer Malcom Sayer featured a stunningly long bonnet, covered headlights, and svelte rear haunches and immediately became a worldwide sensation as the E-Type stole the show upon its reveal at the 1961 Geneva Auto Salon. To this day, it is one of only a handful of automobiles whose significance has been recognized with a permanent display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, and is a car that Enzo Ferrari called the finest designed car of all time. In short, the car’s looks matched its superlative performance, capable of 0–60 mph in under 7 seconds a 150-mph top speed.
The magnificent 1963 Jaguar E-type Series 1 Roadster featured here is finished in gorgeous Regency Red over Black leather with a Black folding convertible top. This incredible motorcar was beautifully restored with no expense spared. Since then, it has shown at multiple events and is accompanied with its Jaguar Club of America judging sheets. Just released from a respected private Jaguar collection, this E-type Series 1 roadster is ready for its next caretaker. We are proud to offer this investment-grade Jaguar roadster to the most astute collector, investor, or enthusiast who desires to own one of the best.

We know that classic car financing can pose a unique challenge. Although a vintage or exotic car can be an excellent investment, some financial institutions attempt to apply standard “used car” rules for financing a classic car, which in many cases can make loan approval difficult.
We work closely with many banking institutions that understand and recognize the collector value of classic cars and view them as an investment, which allows us to help you get the financing you need so that you can have the car you have dreamed of.
