It is the Paris Motorshow this week and with that comes famous Coys auction, this year featuring a whole host of rare and expensive classics to drool over and spend your fantasy money on.

The Jaguar E-Type is a British classic and one that we are not shy about featuring here on AutoJumble mainly as it is a bona fide homegrown legend and there are a lot of interesting examples surfacing. All of these examples coming up at auctions around the country mean the E-Type market is one of the most diverse, each car with it’s own unique backstory.

At the upcoming Coys Mondial De l’Automobile auction in Paris they have a stunning 1962 E-Type 3.8 series convertible for sale in near perfect condition. The crowd is expected to go wild for this super desirable flat floor S1 model finished in epic pearl black with matching leather interior and the wire wheels. If Batman were an English gentleman, this would be his Batmobile.

This E-Type is very much more than a pretty face, however, as aside from being one of the most desirable forms of the model it has also been fully restored. Restorations may herald warning bells for some, however this E-Type appears to be the real deal as it is a full matching numbers restoration. The car is described as being in good condition throughout, and due to the fastidious restoration process the lucky new owner can expect few nasty surprises that can be common when buying a car unseen.

This stunning restoration is expected to fetch between €170,000 – €200,000 but don’t be surprised if it sells for more. For more information you can view the car on Coys’ website HERE as well as pour over the current selection of cars they have in the upcoming auction HERE.
