Specialist Notes
Loved and celebrated even outside the automotive world, the Jaguar E-Type was produced from 1961 to 1975. It was a revolutionary car in design, driving characteristics and aesthetics; it was ahead of its time. Its price was lower than that of competing cars of the same class and this helped sales. In 2004 the US magazine Sports Cars International ranked it first among the Top Sport Cars of the Sixties. This E-type up for auction is a 1963 Series I. The first thing that catches the eye is its "total black" interior and exterior livery; yes, exactly like Diabolik's legendary car. The conditions of the specimen are superb, “concourse” level. A total restoration was carried out in 1993-1994, accompanied by extensive photographic documentation. Since 1995 it has been owned by the same owner, who imported it from England. The car is fitted with 72-wire racing-style rims and, in addition, has 4 original chromed wire rims, with new tires. Italian plates and documents are in order. ASI certified.
