This car was mentioned in the June '99 issue of Jaguar World magazine in an article written by Paul Skilleter. Paul quotes Mark Miller of Los Altos, CA; "885013 and 885018 have left my collection to join 885008, the eighth LHD coupe, in (Mike) Mueller's growing collection of intersting early 'E's." He mentions Mike Mueller lives in Texas, USA.

Hi, it would be interesting to know, if Mike Mueller claims also to own 885013 as it would be worth to know for any interested in buying 885013 (I would, if I could - do not want to sell 875521 and 875268)
Also have digged out 885017 which is in good usable condition. For any who might be interested!

Sorry, could someone ask Mike Mueller to contact me by email over the site here? I am thinking forth and back regarding 885013 but would need to have clarity first.
Thanks

Thanks for alerting me to the exixtance of a second 885013. Having owned many early e types (currently 885008,885009,885013,885018,ex Sir Gwaine Ballie 850008and 1s200001), 885013 exhibits all of the unique features found on early coupes. It is a complete car with matching number body,trans,dataplate,front subframe and block.I really don't question its authenticity. Again thanks for the tip. Michael Mueller 1-512-478-7428

Jaguar E-Type Serie 1: Der 13. jemals gebaute Jaguar S1 LHD (left hand drive)
(13th LHD car built) aus dem Baujahr 1961. Dieses Fahrzeug wurde 1989 von der Firma Starke aus den Vereinigten Staaten importiert und zum Rennwagen umgearbeitet.

This car was imorted from The USA in 1989 and converted to a racing car by the Starke company.

In der darauf folgenden Zeit wurde an verschiedenen Oldtimerveranstaltungen mit dem Fahrzeug teilgenommen.

Since that time the car has taken part in various Classic events.

Seit nunmehr ca. fünf Jahren steht das Fahrzeug so, wie es vom letzten Renner abgestellt wurde.

Been stood for about five years in the condition it finished the last race.

Das Fahrzeug ist selbstverständlich für Rennstrecke nach wie vor tauglich.

The car is obviously in race trim and would need very little work to get race-ready.

My name is Mike Mueller from Austin Texas 512 478 7428. I purchased 885013 from Mark Miller a noted early car collector approx 6 years ago.The car is complete with body,body tag, front subframe with 885013 stamped on it , vin plate(original) . The early coupes had a number of small difference in the constucton of the tub some of the changes were gone by 885018. This car exhibits all of the early coupe differences. I know this because it sits next to 885008,885009,885018 . I must therefore assume that unless the factory made two 885013 which is unlikely the car in germany is a fake. I will provide documentation and photos to those people interested. Thanks Michael Mueller(jagaholi@swbell.net)

Mike's ownership seems beyond question. Not that this is a legal venue. Anyone been in touch with the German owner? I'm wondering if this is simply a typo on the eBay ad.

2006-08-25 04:20:38 | Anonymous writes:

Hello,

My name is Martin. I have been in contact with the German seller twice over the last two years.

And no - no typo - this chap tries to sell the car since ages (two years) for a stunning 45000 Euros and not a penny less. The car is for restoration!
He claims to have bought the car from a formerly well known German restaurator and has driven the car in historic racing.
There is has crashed the car 6 times and claims that not much is left original (Front subframe renewed etc.) Also being asked for documentation to prove originality (tax certificate or title, he yet refused to tell me anything about - only had email contact with him).
However he advertises the car saying it must be the oldest E-Type remaining - which is absolute rubbish. I could find out his email address if someone is interested and maybe also his postal address. Would it not be good if this issue could be solved - maybe someone is buying this car for this hell lot of money?

@Mike - yes, I would be interested in pictures from 885013 (and of course in pictures from your other early Coupes & special details / changes as long as it is not too much effort for you) Also, as it seems that you collect these very early cars, you are most likely not interested in selling (any-) one of them (the worst example or so?). I am just interested - and also looking for such a car - could effort one in 1-2 years?

2006-08-25 04:46:26 | Anonymous writes:

Forgotten the car was again on Ebay this week - I think Lofty got the description therefrom.....
And not to be misunderstood - I do not mean that someone should buy the car but that potential buyers gets protected against buying this car! Therefore someone should address the truth or for discussion purposes the facts of 885013 to this German guy

2006-08-25 04:58:33 | Anonymous writes:

Last question: who posseses the title? Do you Mike?

2006-08-25 13:25:50 | Anonymous writes:

Yes I have a state of Californis title for the car and I am taking steps to obtain more documentation on the car. Once my efforts bear fruit the information will be public .Thanks Mike

Is the car now in Osnabruck / Germany as the XKED data reads?
And why is the color stated to be green if the picture shows yellow?

I am not sure how I should understand this whole thing.........

Nevertheless whoever posseses no. 13, more details are welcome like original color, interior etc.

Fahrzeugbeschreibung

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jaguar E Type Coupe - Serie 1 Baujahr 1961 als Rennwagen mit FIA-Wagenpass -nach Anhang K -für historische Fahrzeuge. Wurde von 1991 bis 2000 bei Oldtimerrennen mit viel spass eingesetzt. Es ist der 13 gebaute Jaguar E als LHD und damit der vermutlich älteste noch existenzierende Jaguar E Nach der Restaration wieder ein sehr schönes Auto mit Siegerpotenzial Als Flat Flour Nr. 885013, derzeit in postgelb. Der Jaguar wird komplett neu aufgebaut, inkl. Technikrevision, vorgesehene Lackierung in mattschwarz, oder nach Wunsch des Käufers. Fertigstellung zum Saisonbeginn 2013. Zahlbar ist der Betrag erst bei Übergabe. Der Kaufpreis ist lediglich durch eine Bankbürgschaft abzusichern (Sicherheit für Käufer und Verkäufer)

This car's origine after import to Germany is from a former German dealer, who was once quite well established in the high price business (7 liter 500 hp V12 cars, etc.) but had at least two fires in his restoration shop. The last time the shop burned completely down with all client cars, parts, machinery, etc. but the insurance this time refused to pay out the compensation (maybe too often occured?) I reckon at least 20-30 cars died in this fire.
I visited his workshops 3 times and was once offered the restored body of 885025 but wthout papers. It had cooling guides from the lower bonnet part to the breaks. But the way of business from this dealer appeared to me not to be very "reliable" (body without papers) and "fair". He seemed to be quite arrogant. But that could also have been my personal perception....

So here we go. It seems that there are now 2 885013 cars being alive unless someone stops this guy from offering and selling this dublicate..... I would take on the fight if I were in possesion of 885013. But as the car is in Mr. Mueller's possession, he is the one who decide to deal with this appearance.

Sorry Stefan, didn´t see your post.

This is not uncommon in the EU. When I imported my '62 FHC in NL I was arrested for trying to falsify car documents. It was only after I could proof that my car was totally matching numbers, and a call to Jaguar Heritage centre that I was sent home. It turned out that somebody else in NL had imported a car on this number, long time ago.

I trust that noone is willing to pay this amount of money for this "restoration". I have rarely seen such an ugly creation with white fenders and blackend windscreen chrome.
And even for No 13 this would be too much (imho).

Considering that this car cannot carry many early features, anyone buying this car would be stupid. Either someone is looking for any E-Type FHC, than there are many much nicer, better and in particular much cheaper cars on the market. Someone looking for such an early rarity should know about the details and should therefore be able to identify the car to be a fake.

But I am really curious. Unfortunately currently out of time as collection of an early hood has priority as well as renovating my and my cars new home.

2013-11-19 14:35:54 | pauls writes:

885013 is in the US, not in Germany. The black car being sold in Germany may simply be a misread of the car stampings, a poor stamping or both. If a buyer should accept the car as 885013 they could be in grave danger of loosing the car if its identity were ever to be challenged. All would welcome a 3rd party inspection of the car, perhaps we could help the seller or a buyer discover the car's correct identity.

I love this car - I really do!

It is the most ugly E-Type I have ever seen, it is a fake, the seller is a jerk and according to my memories the dealer the car came from..... well, let me put it in my words; I wouldn't borrow him a penny. He once offered me the body of 885025, but without documents....
And his workshop completely burnt down with as many as 20 high class classics and many many parts. There have been really rare things in his Workshop. And the insurance rejected payments. But no further details are known....

Mark Miller had 885013 and 885018 stored in one of my aircraft hangars in central California when both cars were owned by him. Mark sold both cars to Mike Mueller in Texas. Mike had both cars picked up from that hangar and shipped to Texas. Mark offered the choice of either to me but I decided on a 4.2 coupe being I intended to drive the car. I looked over both cars carefully when I was considering them and can testify that both 13 & 18 are the genuine cars. (Being I already owned 875318 I was familiar with the early production differences).

The unbelievable has happended. According to the JAguar E-Type magazine Feb. 2015 Mike Mueller has sold 3 of his 4 OSB FHC. An another source said, that he even sold no. 4 as well as he was simply offered too much money for the cars. The holy grail of early OSB FHCs has given them all away.....

The article also said that 2 of these cars will be restored and subsequently auctioned. Estimated price from the auctioneers: Between 1 - 1.7 mio US$ --> this is a hammer!

Restoration startet on 21 April 2014 at classicjaguar in Austin Texas. Short before completion (over 2 1/2 years). Very detailed, very original, some few misses: tank / tank sump / one seat runner had to be reproduced as could not be sourced, which is fair enough. But apart from that great work resulting in a real beauty!
