*Highly Original, One Owner, First Paint, Only 57,000 km*
We are proud to present an exceptional and exceedingly rare example of the iconic 1963 Jaguar E-Type Series 1, configured as a 3.8 Litre Coupé. This is not merely an E-Type; this is the kind of car purists dream about—an example virtually unmatched in originality, provenance, and state of preservation.

This E-Type was delivered new in Lucerne, Switzerland, to its first and only owner—a true enthusiast who purchased it as the successor to his XK150 and then cared for it with extraordinary dedication for more than six decades. The result is a car that still retains its original paint and has covered only 57,000 kilometers since new. Its complete documentation is present and verifiable, from the original purchase invoice to the service booklets and the Swiss Abgaswartung records.

A look at the photos on our website confirms what words can barely convey: the condition is remarkably original. This Jaguar remains wonderfully well preserved, with countless untouched details. The exterior displays beautiful patina and has survived in an almost unheard-of state of originality. Inside, the cabin presents fantastic period-correct details—exactly what you expect from an unrestored car of this caliber.

The Jaguar E-Type Series 1 is widely regarded as one of the most beloved and celebrated sports cars ever built. Enzo Ferrari himself reportedly referred to it as “the most beautiful car ever made.” That statement becomes instantly clear when you stand before this example. The elegant, sweeping lines, the covered headlights, the low silhouette, and the perfectly proportioned bonnet together create a presence that remains both timeless and breathtaking.

Technically, the 3.8 is a masterpiece as well. Its straight-six—directly related to the multiple Le Mans–winning D-Type—delivers a silky-smooth character paired with extraordinary emotional depth. Inside, the aluminum center console, deep bucket seats, and classic toggle switches represent pure British sports-car tradition.

The fact that this example has survived in such deeply original, untouched condition makes it an unparalleled opportunity for the serious collector. This is not simply a car to purchase—it is a car to preserve, a benchmark in the history of the E-Type.

A truly outstanding opportunity for the purist seeking an example in unmolested, original condition. Interested? Contact Gallery Aaldering today. Active since 1975, we have decades of experience exporting our vehicles worldwide—please inquire about the possibilities.
