Auction description:

1962 Jaguar E-Type Series I Roadster Flat Floor

Lot Number 171

Registration DYC 83

Chassis Number SABTVR03970243943

Engine Number R49719

Odometer reading 2,334 miles

Estimate £100,000 - £130,000

Supplied new by Fields Engineering, Sussex and dispatched to its first owner on 17th April 1962, this well-presented E-Type is offered in its original colour combination of Old English White over a dark blue interior. Having been part of a private collection for many years it is believed this E-Type was subject to an extensive restoration circa 20 years ago. Since then the car has reportedly covered circa 2,334 miles. The paintwork is still in very good condition with very few blemishes to show, the interior also presents nicely. It is also reported to be in good running and driving order having been used occasionally over the summer months.

At some stage during its life the DVLA have given the car the following chassis number: SABTVR03970243943. However, the Jaguar Production Record Trace Certificate, chassis stamp and chassis plate all state that the chassis number is 850479 with the original engine (engine number R4971-9). The history file that accompanies this car includes a Jaguar Production Record Trace Certificate, various sundry invoices and the current V5 registration document. Fit for any keen enthusiast or private collector, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
