THE ICONIC SALE AT RACE RETRO 22nd February 2025

+ buyer’s premium of 12.5% plus VAT (15% incl VAT) 49 This Jaguar E-Type Series I 3.8 Coupé is a race-prepared, FIA-compliant example of the iconic classic British sports coupé that’s enjoyed success at the Silverstone Classic, the Donington Historic Festival and Equipe Classic Racing meets at Oulton Park and Snetterton. Its first outing, after being rebuilt five years ago, was the 60th Anniversary E-Type Challenge at the Silverstone Classic in 2021, when it finished a very impressive second in monsoon conditions driven by Danny Winstanley. At that time, it was still fitted with a 317bhp straight-port, steel-block engine but the car is now powered by a dry-sump, all-alloy 3.8-litre Crosthwaite and Gardiner wide-angle straight- six, which sends its power to the rear wheels via a rebuilt 'EJ' 4-speed manual transmission and a 3.77:1 limited-slip differential. The car is classically finished in Old English White with contrasting red and blue racing stripes and sits on 15" magnesium wheels with 3-spoke knock-offs, wrapped in Dunlop Racing tyres. Equipment includes a differential cooler, uprated driveshafts, an alloy radiator and header tank, oil cooler, uprated anti-roll bars, lightweight brake callipers, lightweight plastic windows, front and rear tow hooks, full cage, Tillett bucket seat (2026), Lifeline harness, OMP fire extinguisher system, 3-spoke Sparco steering wheel and a heated windscreen. The FIA Historic Technical Passport (HTP) is valid until 31 December 2029. In preparation for the 2024 season, the car was fitted with a new 100-litre foam-filled baffled alloy fuel tank, new fuel lines, a replacement propshaft and clutch, re-valved Koni dampers, new front brake pads and MSD ignition. The fire extinguisher was also serviced, the suspension arms and nuts/bolts were zinc-plated and the underside and engine bay were resprayed, including powder-coating the engine frames. In November 2024, the engine was refreshed with new bearings, valve springs, crankshaft damper, clutch, oil, and filters. The Jaguar is road-registered (BRU 387A) and could be driven to events, sprints, hill climbs etc. (on road tyres) and even used on road-rallies but its prime function is as a very competitive racer. The most recent MOT test was on 15 March 2021 at an indicated 75,058 miles, which was a first time pass. In addition to the aforementioned FIA/HTP, the car is accompanied by its V5C, old MOTs, set up notes, invoices etc. and a collection of spare parts (full list on our website).
