1963 | Jaguar E-Type 3.8

"It’s a car you drive because you love cars, not just because you need one."

At Cool Classic Club, we have a soft spot for E-types. Not just because of the model itself—but because of what it represents: timeless beauty, technical elegance, and that elusive British flair. And when a truly exceptional example comes along… we can’t help but celebrate!

And that’s exactly what we have here! This isn’t just a quick polish or a rushed restoration. This is an E-type with the right character, an impeccable past, and a history visible in every detail. A rare, unspoiled Series 1 3.8—searching for its next caretaker.

Built in 1962, originally delivered to Jaguar Cars in New York, and in the hands of the same proud Dutch owner since 1994. A true enthusiast—not just someone who fell in love, but someone who stayed devoted for thirty years. He restored this feline from top to bottom with precision and passion. No shortcuts, no half measures. Just pure dedication. More love has gone into this car than a British gardener puts into his rose garden.

In 2012, when the engine showed signs of fatigue at 35,936 kilometers, the block was fully rebuilt—including a new crankshaft. Two years later, she roared back to life, stronger, smoother, and just as stylish as she was in ’62.

The Series 1 3.8 is the E-type in its purest form: an aluminum dashboard, the correct switches, and three carburetors singing their signature tune. Matching numbers, extensive documentation, and a history rarely this well-documented.

This is an E-type that reflects a true enthusiast’s passion in every detail.

Are you ready to take the wheel?

"If the E-type was a person, it’d be the one everyone wants to sit next to at the party."
