1962 Jaguar E-type
Series 1 3.8 OTS
| This 1962 Series 1 3.8 E-type was
originally manufactured in 1962 and dispatched to Jaguar Cars New York in
June of that year. The car resided in
California until 1979 when it was purchased by a gentlemen in Ontario, Canada
who owned the car until late 2020 when it was purchased by its current
owner. This specific car was chosen as
a basis for a restoration primarily due to its very original condition and
also that its original colour was Opalescent Silver Grey with Red
leather. The car arrived back in the
UK in 2021 and a meticulous two year restoration was embarked upon, using
known experts and specialists, with every aspect of the car brought back to
as-new condition. A “matching-numbers”
example, the car still has its original engine and cylinder head. The car has covered less than a thousand
miles since completion and is now available for its next owner to enjoy. The car comes with an impressive history
file, documenting not just the restoration, but also the 40+ years with one
owner in Canada. The last California
issued numberplate is still with the car, as well as a Heritage Certificate
confirming the original build details.
The car will be supplied to its new owner with 12 months warranty and
roadside assistance. |
