The E-Type arrived at Geneva in March 1961 and changed what a fast car was expected to cost. The Series 1 3.8 is the first and purest of them: covered headlamps, the flat floors and external bonnet latches of the earliest cars, a 3,8-litre XK straight-six of 265 bhp, and independent rear suspension when almost nothing else had it.
Enzo Ferrari is supposed to have called it the most beautiful car ever made. Whether he did or not, Jaguar sold it for roughly half what a comparable Ferrari cost, and that was the point.
This car is a Series 1 3.8 roadster showing 6,000 kilometres. AutoSL specialises in this period and describes the car as a first-series example.
It is offered from AutoSL in Neuss at €169,890.
AutoSL works from Neuss, on the Rhine, and its stock is almost entirely pre-war and post-war classics rather than modern cars: the shop understands what a matching-numbers E-Type is and what it is not. The price is quoted for the German market; export terms are available.
The seller lists 1 items of equipment on this car, reproduced in full below. Among them: Top-Zustand. The technical table above it sets out what the seller states about the car itself: 6 000 km on the odometer. The car is with AutoSL GmbH in Neuss.
The Series 1 3.8 is the E-Type as it was launched, and the details that identify it are the ones collectors pay for: covered headlamps under glass, flat floors, external bonnet latches, a welded louvre panel and the Moss four-speed gearbox without synchromesh on first. The 3,8-litre XK straight-six is the engine from the D-type detuned for the road, and independent rear suspension (a fully independent wishbone and coil arrangement carried in its own subframe) was almost unheard of on a production car in 1961. AutoSL specialises in this period and sells from Neuss, on the Rhine.
