60 years of single family ownership (purchased in 1963)Early Series 1 finished in factory Black over Black interiorNumbers matching engine, head, and gearboxJaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Production Record CertificateCopies of photographs documenting restoration and upgradesGeneral HistoryUnveiled at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-type ushered in a new era of sports car design and engineering. Beautiful body lines, unrivaled performance, and racing lineage combined to make the E-Type an immediate sensation. With its beautiful lines and surprisingly affordable price, the E-Type grew to iconic status where it has remained for more than half a century adored by collectors and enthusiasts. Independent front and rear suspension, disc brakes all around (inboard at the rear to reduce unsprung weight), and Jaguar’s legendary twin-cam inline six-cylinder engine were among the many aspects contributing to the allure. Sales were brisk with continuous development growing in both American and European markets. Continuing sales would advance into the 1970s, but enthusiasts and collectors steadfastly confirm admiration for the Series 1 models as one of the most beautiful and capable sports cars ever conceived.History of this ExampleAccording to the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Production Record Certificate accompanying this car, this XKE was produced January 25, 1962, and delivered April 11, 1962, to a US serviceman stationed in Germany. One of very few LHD Coupes produced at the factory finished in black with a black leather interior, this example was purchased by the aunt of the same family that continues ownership to this day. Purchased April 19, 1963, only a year old at that time, the Elgin, IL owner and her family have since retained the car for a remarkable 60 years. In 2004, the family enlisted JK Restorations, Oswego, IL to restore the car. Completed in 2005 totaling over $85,000 reflected in restoration receipts accompanying the car, the odometer was zeroed out and the car was placed in dry storage with occasional use. The finished car remained in Illinois until 2012 when it was transported to California.

The floors were carefully removed from the bottom of the car, and new sheet metal floors were installed. The hood was replaced with a correct used unit, new door skins were installed, various hinges replaced, and a new left sill was installed. Portions of the left rear fender were also cut out and new sheet metal, using a correct rear quarter panel, was carefully welded in place.

The interior was reupholstered in black leather, the gauges were restored, various interior chrome trim was refinished, the steering wheel was restored, switches replaced as needed, and new electrical wiring installed. Copies of the 2004-2005 restoration receipts accompanying the car total more than $85,000.00.The completed car retains the original engine (both block and head) and gearbox, all of which match the numbers on the original chassis data plate retained with the car.

Current ConditionToday, this factory black Jaguar XKE Coupe boasts high gloss paint with a deep and satisfying finish.

The Jaguar underwent a comprehensive refurbishment by JK Restorations of Oswego, IL in 2004. Work consisted of repairing the body and repainting it in the factory black exterior color, retrimming the interior in black leather, and rebuilding the matching numbers 3.8-liter inline-six engine and four-speed manual transmission. Additional work included refinishing the chrome 15-inch knock-off wire wheels, rebuilding the carburetors, overhauling the brakes, suspension, and gauges, and replacing the lighting and wiring harness.

The restoration was completed in 2005 totaling over $85,000 reflected in restoration receipts accompanying the car. The odometer was zeroed out and the car was placed in dry storage with occasional use. The finished car remained in Illinois until 2012 when it was transported to California to the niece of the original owner. The odometer indicates 950 miles at the time of cataloging. The completed car retains the original engine and gearbox, all of which match the numbers on the original chassis data plate retained with the car.

With its clean, soft lines and 6-cylinder howl, few cars are able to stack up against the Jaguar magic. Having just under 1,000 miles driven since the completion of the restoration, this Jaguar is ready to be enjoyed for many miles to come. A well cared for example, in over 60 years of family ownership this Coupe will surely find itself in good company with its next owner. Few cars can rival the Jaguar E-Type in performance, beauty, and desirability and this particular Coupe is a superb example of one of the most iconic cars of the '60s.
