1961 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 Navigation
This is a very early E-Type Roadster, with flat floors, external bonnet latches, and welded bonnet louvers. It was the 138th example built and the first E-Type sold in Pennsylvania. The car was given a restoration in the early 1990s and at the time, it had just 41,700 miles on the odometer. After the work was completed, it was shown at three Jaguar Club North America concours, scoring 100 points at each and ultimately winning the Challenge Cup. Currently, the car has fewer than 42,000 miles showing on the odometer, and it has been stored properly for preservation in a temperature-controlled environment. The car is finished in Carmen Red paint, has Biscuit leather interior, and tan canvas top. The car rides on chrome wire wheels, with the authentic early-style knock-offs, and wide whitewall tires.
