The car's bodywork and interior show a nice patina preserving the original character combined with improved handling and performance ideal for continental touring or fast road events. The car has never been raced.

Auction description:

GreenColour:

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.
