Beautiful, matching numbers, Series 1 E-type roadster. A rare combination of stunning Opalescent Blue over immaculate red leather. Canadian car since new delivery in Montreal. Older museum quality restoration. Jaguar heritage Certificate.

Sent to Montreal July 19th 1962

First owner Paul Kovace purchased the car from the Jaguar dealer in Montreal in 1962.

The car was sold to the second owner Mr. Beland of Montreal who did a complete restoration of the car in the late 1980's. Purchase date is unknown, the car was incorrectly registered as a 1965.

Louis Lebal purchased the car in 1988. The car was serviced by Mr. Roger Lachance of Services Techniques Lechance INC in Quebec City. Lebal owned the car until it was sold to the next owner in 1996.

In 1996 the car was sold to its 4th owner Mr. Leo Martineau, who did not drive standard. The car spent 9 years in a car museum, Musee Du Domaine, in Quebec.

In August of 2014 the car was purchased by the present owner and transported to BC. Here it was reregistered correctly as a 1962. It was also reunited, after 44 years with another Jaguar OTC, which was produced on the same day. The two "sisters" spent the next year receiving a lot of TLC from Milo's European Car specialists.

Price: $199,500

Hello,

would it be possible to know the engine and body numbers of the car because I have found in France a car having the same VIN# and I would like to compare these other numbers.

thanks.

Laurent, take a photo of the vin plate or get a Heritage certificate. Some owners do not include these numbers because of the high incidence of fraud.

Delivered new through Jaguar of Eastern Canada in Montreal in July 1962, this Jaguar E-Type Series 1 3.8 Roadster, chassis number 877650, is confirmed by its Jaguar Heritage Trust Production Record as having been originally finished in Opalescent Dark Blue over a red leather interior with a blue soft top, a specification it still wears today.

For over 50 years, the car is said to have remained in Canada. Its second owner is said to have commissioned a full restoration in the late 1980s, respecting the car's original colors, before passing it on to its third owner in 1988. It is reported to have been subsequently acquired by its fourth owner in 1996, who is said to have kept it in display condition at the Musée du Domaine in Quebec. The car was later sold in 2014 and serviced by Milo European Car Specialist in Vancouver, before being resold in 2015.

Part of its current U.S. collection since 2021, the car is presented in attractive condition, well dialed in, retaining its matching engine block and head. It preserves all the hallmarks of the highly desirable Series 1 specification, including its beautifully pure and uncluttered lines, manual transmission, aviation-inspired aluminum dashboard, and bucket seats. It is further equipped with chrome wire wheels and offered with a matching spare wheel and tool kit, and is accompanied by the aforementioned Jaguar Heritage Trust Production Record.
