Overview about this 1963 Jaguar E-Type Lightweight for sale

A 1963 Series 1 roadster prepared as a competition car rather than a road one. It is FIA registered with a Historic Technical Passport valid for hill climb, rally and racing until the end of 2027.

The dealer records that the current owner acquired it in 2017 and has since fitted a new Crosthwaite and Gardiner straight-six, a Denis Welch gearbox and a Hewland differential, and that it has been prepared throughout by Blakeney Motorsport and used on a small number of test days only.

It is also road registered in the United Kingdom, which is what makes this specification unusual: eligible for Goodwood, the Tour Auto and Le Mans Classic, and legal to drive there.

This 1963 Jaguar E-Type Lightweight is offered for sale. It is powered by a Crosthwaite and Gardiner straight-six, recently fitted engine. It is equipped with a denis Welch gearbox, Hewland differential transmission.

The asking price is £259,950. The car is located in London, United Kingdom.

FAQ

This Jaguar E-Type Lightweight in the European market

How this car sits against the other Jaguar E-Type Lightweight advertised in Europe on 2026, and what to settle before a cross-border purchase.

Is this Jaguar priced above or below the European market?

At £259,950, about €304,138, it sits above the median of €152,040 for the 17 Jaguar advertised in Europe in 2026. 94% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread. See the listings

Can this Jaguar be bought in the United Kingdom and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in London, United Kingdom. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

Which other Jaguar are priced closest to this one?

a 1975 car in the United Kingdom at €292,438, and a 1954 car in the United Kingdom at €292,438. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself. See the listings

Who is selling this Jaguar E-Type Lightweight, and how does a purchase work?

Joe Macari, a professional dealer in London, United Kingdom. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Jaguar E-Type Lightweight be inspected before purchase?

The car is at London, United Kingdom, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history: LUSSO does not publish these and cannot confirm them.

Is this Jaguar E-Type Lightweight still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Joe Macari before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.

What is needed to register this car if it does not stay in the United Kingdom?

A cross-border registration normally requires the vehicle registration document, the certificate of conformity or an equivalent type-approval record, the purchase invoice showing the VAT treatment, and proof that any tax due in the destination country has been settled. Temporary export plates and transport insurance are arranged either by the dealer or by the buyer. Requirements differ by country and should be confirmed with the selling dealer before payment.
