Lot No.749

Reg: 847XUV

1962 JAGUAR E-TYPE 3.8 - 3779cc £65000 - £75000

ESTIMATE £65000 - £75000 sold at £60500

Chassis Number 860417 - the first 1962 Chassis Number being 860134. We can see from the cars Heritage Certificate that this example was supplied by Great Western Motors of Reading to a local Garage proprietor being despatched from the factory on May 9th 1962 and first registered on June 21st 1962 as "1738DP" which would have been a Reading issued registration plate from February 1962 until May 1964. From the cars large and deatiled history file we can see the car was taken to and registered on the Isle of Man on March 5th 1975 as "38EMN" returning to Mainland UK and being reregistered on April 14th 2010 as "847XUV". The afore mentioned incredible history along with two restorations one in 1991 and another in 2009 give an insight into this cars life. The vendor states the car is a matching number car but the original gearbox is retained but not fitted as he has an upgraded 5 speed box fitted for driveability and also states that the car benefits from upgraded brakes again for driveability.

114 Miles (Indicated) RHD manual

London, United Kingdom

Registration 847 XUV

This example has reportedly undergone a full restoration, including a comprehensive bare-metal respray and a complete period-correct interior re-trim.

The HPI report notes that the car was first registered with the DVLA in 1980, though the chassis number confirms that the car is a UK-market right-hand-drive example. 

The odometer indicates 114 miles, though this is not warranted. 

Equipment and features

This E-Type Series 1 3.8 FHC is finished in gunmetal grey, over a red leather-trimmed interior, featuring a contrasting black dashboard, textured aluminium inlays on the centre console and transmission tunnel, and chrome trim highlights. 

It rides on a set of 15-inch chrome cross-spoke wire wheels with two-spoke knock-offs, fitted with Vredestein Sprint Classic tyres. 

Equipment includes a wood-rimmed steering wheel, Smiths gauges, period bucket seats, dashboard toggle switches, heater and ventilation controls, and a passenger-side dashboard storage compartment. 

This example has been fitted with a modern retro-style stereo.

The seller states that the car is accompanied by the original manufacturer's owner's manual, a comprehensive history file containing invoices and supporting documentation, and an authentication certificate.

One ignition key is included.

Condition

Specific notes from the seller include: the car received a comprehensive bare-metal respray as part of a full restoration. The interior received a complete period-correct re-trim during the restoration.

The HPI report notes that the car is painted green, though the car was repainted in gunmetal grey during its restoration.

Service history

The seller states that the last recorded maintenance was carried out in May 2022 at an indicated 48 miles by Automo UK.
