Auction description:

1962 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 3.8-Litre Fixed Head Coupe

Offered Without Reserve

Monterey, California

Chassis No. 885935

Engine No. R 5114-9

Cylinder Head No. R 5114-9

Flat-floor E-Type Series 1 Coupe wearing a concours-quality restoration

Purchased new by the consignor’s grandfather

Retains its numbers-matching 3.8-liter, double-overhead-camshaft six-cylinder engine, cylinder head, and body

Finished in Opalescent Dark Blue over biscuit leather interior

Accompanied by period advertisements for Simoniz car wax describing the car’s amateur race history by the consignor’s grandfather, Horace Schaffer

This 1962 example of Jaguar’s automotive masterpiece is said to have been the recipient of a recent concours-level restoration. Believed to have been purchased new by the consignor’s grandfather, the car was raced in period at Lime Rock and Bridgehampton, where it placed first in quarter-mile acceleration. The consignor’s grandfather, Horace Schaffer, was also featured in period advertisements for Simoniz car wax describing the meticulous care he gave his E-Type, copies of which are included in the sale.

The car retains its numbers-matching engine, cylinder head, and body, as confirmed by the accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, and it is finished in its factory shade of Opalescent Dark Blue. While originally trimmed in red leather, its interior is now handsomely appointed in biscuit leather.

The car shows many of the desirable hallmarks of early E-Types including flat cabin floors, high-back bucket seats, and aluminum trimmed dash while also sporting several tasteful performance enhancements of upgraded, polished individual air filters and widened 72-spoke wire wheels shod in Pirelli P4000 tires.

Featuring documented history when new, numbers-matching engine, cylinder head, and body, and finished in a concours-quality restoration, this fixed head coupe checks all the right boxes for the prospective E-Type curator.

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
