1962 Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Coupe

Chassis No: 860425
Engine No: R52159
CC: 3781
Colour: White
Trim Colour: Red
MOT: July 2010

This home market 1962 coupe features the mods created to give extra foot room with deeper front footwells, yet still runs the pure specification the cars are noted for in early production. The car was re-registered as `KVS 524' by the E-type Centre prior to entering the current ownership in 1992. Paperwork on file reportedly shows six former keepers and includes a continuation logbook (stamped 1971), V5C Registration Document, assorted old MOTs (dating back to 1975) and numerous general maintenance receipts. Finished in Old English White with red leather upholstery, the two-seater is described by the vendor as being in "good" condition with regard to its engine, four-speed manual gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork. For the past seventeen years the car has apparently been garaged and only ever driven in the dry, the MOT runs until July 2010, with Historic VED disc valid until June 2010. Any E-type can lay claim to being a seminal design classic but an early Coupe has a degree of cool about it that looks fantastic whether out with the Jaguar Drivers or Enthusiasts Clubs, on a tour in the Alps or residing on the Riviera - pure class.
