About this car

This is an early Series 1 E-Type 3.8 fixed-head coupe, chassis 860974, built in October 1962 as a right-hand-drive UK home market car and first registered in 1963. It wears its original Opalescent Silver Blue over light grey leather, with a cross-hatch aluminium dash and centre console and a wooden steering wheel.

It has been restored over many years, with the body work carried out by Rod Jay of RJ Panels. Body and engine numbers match. The gearbox is the later 4.2 fully synchromesh unit, a popular upgrade over the original 3.8 box. Wider offset chrome wire wheels sit on 205/70 R15 tyres.

It comes with a Jaguar Heritage certificate, the original registration book, a period radio, the original jack and a matching spare wheel. The history file includes photographs of the rebuild and invoices for the engine and gearbox work. Six previous owners are recorded, and the dealer will supply it with a full service and 12 months' MOT. No mileage is stated.
