A home market car with matching chassis and engine block numbers

Manufactured on the 30th of April 1962, chassis 860467 is one of just 1,799 right-hand drive 3.8 Fixed Head Coupe examples produced and was supplied new to the home market by distributors Ritchies Ltd., Glasgow, being dispatched on the 15th of May. Provided with a comprehensive restoration between 1999 and 2001, the E-Type’s bodywork was taken back to bare metal and new panels fitted as required, with the Jaguar thereafter provided with a full repaint Red. New or re-chromed trim finished the exterior appearance, with the engine and transmission provided with full overhauls, including the engine receiving a replacement cylinder head (although the matching numbers head is accompanying). A Kenlowe fan, Lumenition ignition system, and stainless-steel exhaust finished the mechanicals before the interior was provided a full retrim in Tan leather. Invoices in the history file total some £9,000 worth of expenditure.

Purchased by the vendor in 2003, 860467 was used on the road for a couple of years before the E-Type was parked in the vendor's garage due to other commitments and has not seen the road since. Offered for sale now due to the vendor’s realisation that he will not get the E-Type back on the road, it is offered requiring a thorough mechanical recommissioning before pressing back into use. Supplied with a history file that contains the aforementioned invoices, as well as a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, CD workshop manual, owner’s manual, maintenance charts, some previous MOTs, and a V5C document. Pleasingly retaining its original, ‘matching’ chassis and engine cylinder block, the Fixed Head Coupe also boasts the chassis number being stamped on the picture frame. With just 1,799 RHD 3.8 Fixed Head Coupe examples produced, survivors are now highly sort after, making ‘749 HOJ’ a highly worthwhile recommissioning project.
