“This is a quintessential “garage find” that’s sure to set enthusiasts’ hearts racing.”

At Beverly Hills Car Club, we’re always on the hunt for automotive treasures, and our latest discovery is nothing short of spectacular. We’re thrilled to introduce a true rarity: a 1962 Jaguar XKE Series I Flat Floor Roadster with a Louvered Bonnet.

This is a quintessential “garage find” that’s sure to set enthusiasts’ hearts racing. Enzo Ferrari famously called it “the most beautiful car ever made.” But this example takes that legacy a step further with its unique features.

The “Flat Floor” designation refers to the earliest E-Types produced, before Jaguar modified the footwells for improved comfort. But what truly sets this XKE apart is its louvered bonnet. This feature was exceptionally rare, typically reserved for racing variants of the E-Type. The louvered design improved engine cooling during high-performance driving, hinting at this car’s potential racing pedigree.

As a 1962 model, this XKE also boasts the purity of design that made the Series I so iconic. With its sleek lines, long nose, and perfect proportions, it embodies the essence of 1960s sports car design.

While awaiting restoration, this Jaguar XKE represents a unique opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike. It’s not just a car; it’s a piece of automotive history waiting to be brought back to its former glory.

Beverly Hills Car Club is honored to breathe new life into this captivating 1962 Jaguar XKE Series I Flat Floor Roadster. (Sept. 9, 2024)
