1964 JAGUAR E-TYPE SERIES 1 4.2 ROADSTER - MANUAL - 82,245 MILES SHOWING - (MY65)
This E-Type roadster (OTS) has to be one of the best we have ever seen, as it looks like it just rolled off the 1964 Jaguar production line.

The original 1964 detachable hardtop and still has it's original factory lining in beautiful condition.
So you can enjoy 3 modes of driving, depending on the weather, convertible, soft top up or maybe hardtop fitted. As a note of fastidious care by the current owner, this car has never been driven in the rain under his ownership. Also included is a quarter tonneau cover to cover the soft top when down, pictured here in the boot.
If you were planning on an E-Type Roadster restoration now, to get it to this standard would easily cost double this asking price at today's prices!
This vehicle is currently on Historic registration in South Australia which is not transferable, however it would be eligible for similar schemes in other jurisdictions, this equates to minimal on road costs.
If sold to another South Australian resident, the current SA plates SXE064 may be available with the sale.
Outstanding in every way, this beautiful E-Type can be viewed on our state of the art showroom floor in Adelaide.
