car is on Auction at Brightwells:

Description:

1963 Jaguar E-Type S1 3.8 FHC

Registration Number 4700DF

Engine Number R8385-9

Chassis Number 860945

On offer from a Special Cotswold Collection; just two owners from new, the current since 2009; bare metal restoration in the late ‘90s; recent £17k spend at CMC; a super example of Britain's most beautiful sportscar

First registered in February 1963, this beautiful Series One E-Type has had just two owners from new, the first being a Mr Hyland who was to keep it for 46 years before our vendor acquired it in 2009.

Photos on file show that the car was treated to a bare shell restoration at some point in the late-1990s. Although there are no invoices to show exactly what was done, it was clearly a very thorough job and included a bare metal repaint in Carmen red.

Photographs show the 3.8-litre straight-six back in situ looking totally flawless, and while we are unsure exactly what engine work was undertaken, it certainly received its fair share of elbow grease on the outside. The photos also show what appear to be brand new suspension components fitted, including shock absorbers, hubs, arms and bushes.

During our vendor’s 15-year ownership the car has formed part of a collection and has been very lightly used, the MOT history online showing that it has only covered some 1,800 miles since 2009. Various invoices show routine upkeep, including a head gasket kit in August 2009, a carburettor rebuild kit in December 2009 and a new Lucas Sport coil in March 2010.

More recently our vendor treated his E-Type to a trip to renowned Jaguar specialists CMC of Bridgnorth where it was given the full CMC treatment and racked up some £17,000 of care and attention. This included a steering rack rebuild, a gearbox refresh with new seals and rear bearing, rear diff rebuild, new clutch kit and reskimmed flywheel along with a smattering of other bits and bobs including genuine Jaguar anti-roll bar bushes.

Looking absolutely splendid in our classic car barn, this beautiful E-Type shows off the pinnacle of British motorcar styling. The interior shows very little wear with the correct dimpled aluminium centre console and switchboard, correct bucket seats covered in black leather with red piping and complemented by a black leather dashboard and black carpets.

The exterior of the car is gleaming, the brightwork looks to be in very good condition, the bodywork looks to be nice and straight, the paintwork overall looks to be good however some minor bubbling can be seen on the bonnet and wheel arches as shown in the photos. The engine bay still holds its own but could be polished to perfection with a small amount of time and effort and the engine number on the car matches that on the VIN plate.

Running and driving very nicely on site, this gorgeous British Icon looks most appealing at the enticing guide price suggested.

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
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?
