    For sale on online auction site Jun22.

    www.carandclassic.com/auctions/1962-jaguar-e-type-38-coupe-8WDVjg

    Auction description:

    1962 Jaguar

    Colour Gray

    Odometer 71,592 Miles

    Engine size 3781

    Auction DetailsSeller Type Private

    Location Wales

    Country United Kingdom

    Fabulous full history

    Huge maintenance and service folio

    Original 1962 Logbook

    Restoration completed in 2020

    Complete with Heritage Certificate

    Full service and maintenance history

    Engine rebuild at 32,000 miles

    Restored between 2018 and 2020

    Large file of invoices from the last 22 years

    Large personal file of travels with the car

    Many previous MOT certificates

    Original 1962 Logbook

    Current V5

    Original red hide interior

    Original seats

    Factory Dash with all original instruments

    Three 1962 pennies attached to the centre console (removeable)

    Refurbished original steering wheel

    The interior is just as the factory had intended. The seats are original and possess a delightful degree of patination. The dashboard contains all the original instruments which work as they should. The carpet is in good order and the all-important clutch kick-plate is still in position on the side of the tunnel. The rear luggage area is also original and this is possibly the only area that the new owner may want to improve as a couple of the luggage strips are detaching from the carpet a little. Apart from this somewhat inconsequential issue, the interior is in great condition for being 60 years old.

    The Exterior 

    Professionally restored bodywork

    New inner and outer sills and floors

    Finished in the original colour

    Recent tyres

    Original wire wheels and spinners

    The shape of the E-Type ensures any imperfections are plainly visible. Fortunately, this car not only has a fabulous body but a fabulous paint job to go with it. Fully resprayed during the renovations in 2018 and used sparingly since the paint appears in very good condition with a lovely deep shine. The chromework is original and remains bright as do the rear lamp clusters. The only minor imperfection is on the offside headlamp bezel which has received a dent from most likely a stone. The car stands on the proper wire wheels for its age complete with ‘knock-off’ centre spinners. A pair of highly polished tail pipes emerge from the rear as part of the hand-built stainless system.

    The Mechanics 

    Engine rebuild in 2003

    Refurbished suspension

    Upgraded and improved brakes

    Aluminium radiator

    Dynatron Alternator

    Not only has the curvy body been restored but a lot of the mechanicals have also been catered for. Throughout its life, it has not wanted for anything. In 2003 the engine was found to be using a little more oil than usual so was fully rebuilt. The 2016 MOT showed minor rust developing on an inner sill and was listed as an advisory. Inner and outer sills were replaced along with both floor pans just to be sure. A set of Cooper Craft calipers on each corner have been a worthwhile upgrade to the brake system and a Dynatron alternator preserves the appearance of a dynamo but provides the power of a modern alternator.

    The cooling system and starter have also been upgraded. The car has not been test-driven but the engine appeared quiet and the gears selected easily from first to reverse during the photo shoot. There was an opportunity to photograph the instruments with the engine running which displayed everything appearing to run within normal parameters. The two files that come with the car are very enlightening, particularly the one containing the invoices as it is sub-divided into values, one of which is for invoices over £25,000.

    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
