150, 150, 155, 150, 145, 140 Accompanied by Original Tool Kit and Spare Tire Assembly Widely considered one of the most beautiful automobile designs of all time, with engineering and performance to match its looks, Jaguar E-Types of all vintages are appreciated today, however, certain cars-in particular, very early Series 1 E-Types-are exceptionally desirable.
With a build completion date of July 1961, this E-Type, chassis number 875172, possesses the earliest features produced by Jaguar.
While covered headlights are readily apparent; others include the exterior bonnet locks (which require a special, factory-supplied T key to open), flat cockpit floors, and welded ventilation louvers - rather than stamped.
Of the 1,729 open-air E-types built for the 1961 model year, just 385 were left-hand drive examples exhibiting these attributes.
A remarkable Series I 3.

Don't Be Fooled

  • When selling, do not put your home address in your ad.
  • To avoid scams, buy and sell with people you can meet locally, in person.
  • When meeting with someone you don't know, meet in a public place. If that's not possible, have a buddy with you. Also, carry a cell phone; if you feel unsafe, you can call a trusted friend, and stay on the line.
  • Never give out financial or private information like account numbers, PayPal login, or social security number.
  • If an offer sounds too good to be true, it is. Walk away!
