This Jaguar E-Type Series 1 ‘Flat Floor’ Roadster is a concours-quality example of the sought-after classic British sports car, offered with the desirable first-year specification, and benefitting from a meticulous restoration.⁠ ⁠ Under the bonnet sits the original ‘numbers-matching’ 3.8-litre straight-six, fed by triple SU carburettors, producing around 265bhp, and driving the rear wheels via the original four-speed manual transmission. ⁠ ⁠ The odometer shows just 151 miles since the restoration was completed. ⁠ ⁠ As an early E-Type Roadster from the first year of production, this example features the sought-after ‘flat floor’, larger rear drive shafts and wishbones, an aluminium centre console section, and an air-intake assembly box without grooves. ⁠ ⁠ This example also features the highly desirable welded bonnet louvres. ⁠ ⁠ Around 1,500 examples were produced with this feature up to Christmas 1961, after which bonnet pressing machines were installed during the factory's holiday shutdown. ⁠ ⁠ While it left the factory wearing Cream paintwork, this E-Type Roadster is now finished in an elegant shade of Gunmetal Grey, offset by a black convertible roof. ⁠ ⁠ 📍LIVE NOW - Birmingham, West Midlands, United Kingdom⁠ ⁠ 🔗Find out more via our link in bio ⁠ ⁠ #CollectingCars #Jaguar #Etype
