This Jaguar E-Type, originally delivered to the United States as a 3.8-litre Roadster and first registered in 1963, has a fascinating history. In its early years, the car was converted to a 4.2-litre engine, but few details are known from that period. In 1983, the vehicle came from Colorado to Switzerland, where it found its first owner in Zermatt. After a decade, the car changed hands and was sold to an enthusiast in the canton of Geneva. He had extensive restoration work carried out, including a repaint and refurbishment of the interior, replacement of the exhaust system, and an overhaul of the clutch and the cylinder head, with the valves being readjusted as well. Towards the end of 2000, the Jaguar changed hands again and was acquired by the family that still owns it today. Dissatisfied with the previous owner's work, the new owner had body work carried out again, particularly on the underbody. He equipped the car with the current red interior and a new soft top fitted. Both the mechanics – including engine and gearbox – and the electrics, were thoroughly overhauled. The comprehensive maintenance and restoration history of the last 25 years is documented with invoices of almost CHF 100’000. Typically for Jaguar models of the period, the doors do not close very well and occasionally the starter gets stuck. These issues should be addressed by the future owner. The last Veteran MOT was completed in June 2020.
