1963 Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Coupe

A superbly presented example of a very iconic motor car

Registration: BHW143A

Chassis: 887127

A host of documented work history from a dedicated owner

Modifications to make usable on a regular basis

In current ownership since 2007 

Modifications made include a 5-speed (including overdrive) gearbox, electronic ignition system, electronic fan controller, air conditioning, and inertia reel seatbelts.

Originally exported to New York in October 1962 as a left-hand drive model in Cream, the E-Type spent time with an owner in Los Angeles before coming back home to the UK in 1989. Soon after, a professional LHD to RHD conversion was carried out together with a colour change to its current finish. The E-Type was issued with the number plate that remains to this day.

This is an example that needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. A genuine opportunity to own, drive and cherish a magnificent Jaguar E-Type.

The Body No. quoted, V4078 is also that of 887238 as shown, but it appears the new ID plate of this car has been misstamped with the number '3' inverted and misread as an '8'.

Both cars appear to be missing their original data plates, anything is possible.
