    www.ebay.com/itm/1962-Jaguar-E-Type-1962-JAGUAR-E-TYPE-SERIES-1-3-8L-MATCHING-s/ ...
    Car has a buy it now price of $59,500 for 28 days, seller kurttannermotorcars, 79k miles.

    Seller's description:
    Offered for sale, from KURT TANNER MOTORCARS, is this very complete and original matching numbers 1962 E-type coupe, LHD Coupe #2371. This exciting discovery was just purchased from an East Coast collector who had it in his collection for years with plans to eventually restore it. There is an attached license plate showing the car lived in Florida with October of 1988 being it's last registration date. It appears that this car was originally finished in Cream with Red trim, a very tasty combination on an early closed car like this one, as evidenced by it's original paint on al of it's panels and existing upholstery. It's a full matching numbers car with matching engine block, cylinder head, picture frame, and body tag all matching the car's original data plate.
    The body on this car is very decent overall for a restoration candidate. There has been some previous typical sheetmetal repairs here and there. There is a dent on the LH front over-rider area but the rest of the car looks quite decent. There is some rust through on the bonnet's lower support panel and some in the floors. There is some replacement sheetmetal on the driver's side floor. Most all of the car's chrome and glass is present save for the usual rear window trim which is now available.
    The car's interior appears very complete. The four-piece aluminum console/dash panels (that are signature to the early cars) are still present but have been covered up with other material. The car still retains it's correct early style 3.8 liter seats along with it's steering wheel, horn push, sun visors, rear view mirror, etc. and a period correct Blaupunkt radio.
    The correct matching numbers engine turns nicely by hand and may even run with a little work. It's very complete and original including it's early style air cleaner collector and the correct early smooth type oil pan. There's a collection of small parts that are included with the car.
    Overall, a highly desirable and rare early E-type 3.8 Liter coupe, being produced in only the second year of production. This very original car has never been apart for restoration and has been stored for the last 31 years. It's an exciting candidate for restoration, still retaining all of it's original components and will make a fantastic car restored back in it's original livery of Cream/Red.

    This SUPER RARE, very complete and original matching numbers 1962 E-type coupe, LHD Coupe.

    BUILT 1st NOVEMBER 1962

    LEFT THE FACTORY IN CREAM (off white) RED LEATHER

    This exciting discovery was just purchased from an East Coast collector who had it in his collection for years with plans to eventually restore it. There is an attached license plate showing the car lived in Florida with October of 1988 being it’s last registration date. It appears that this car was originally finished in Cream with Red trim, a very tasty combination on an early closed car like this one, as evidenced by it’s original paint on al of it’s panels and existing upholstery. It’s a full matching numbers car with matching engine block, cylinder head, picture frame, and body tag all matching the car’s original data plate.

    The body on this car is very decent overall for a restoration candidate. There is a dent on the LH front over-rider area but the rest of the car looks decent. There is some replacement sheet metal on the driver’s side floor. Please view the undercarriage pictures. Most all of the car’s chrome and glass is present save for the usual rear window trim which is now available.

    The car’s interior appears very complete. The four-piece aluminum console/dash panels (that are signature to the early cars) are still present but have been covered up with other material.

    Car now offered at:

    Seller's description:

    1962 Jaguar Series 1 E-type 3.8 FHC

    Originally supplied to the USA

    Recent restoration involving leading UK specialists

    Converted to right-hand drive

    Following a painstaking recent restoration, this is a concours-ready example of perhaps the best-looking Jaguar E-type of all – the Series 1 3.8 Fixed-Head Coupé.

    Chassis number 887371 was built on 1 November 1962 and was originally finished in Cream with a Red interior. It was dispatched on 10 November to Jaguar Cars New York, but little is known of its subsequent life in the US. It’s thought to have spent some time in Florida during the 1980s before ending up with a collector on the East Coast who intended to have it restored.

    Sadly, he still hadn’t got around to having that work done by the time the E-type was offered for sale in 2019. The car had been painted green at some point but it was still complete and matching-numbers. Having been shipped back across the Atlantic and offered for sale in the UK, it was acquired by a British enthusiast and entrusted to E-type specialist Gibsons Classics in Burton-upon-Trent for a ‘nut and bolt’ rebuild.

    After the car had been completely stripped down, it was decided to replace areas such as the floors, front bulkhead, top scuttle panel, inner wheelarches and rear lower quarter panels, with new panels being sourced from Martin Robey.

    Once the bodywork had been taken back to bare metal and repaired as necessary, a respray was carried out in Gunmetal Grey by Coventry Automotive Refinishing at a cost of £14,000 – and the bonnet has subsequently been coated with a Paint Protection Film. A long-manifold, big-bore, stainless-steel exhaust system from Classicfabs was fitted – complete with a heat shield for the alternator conversion – and the differential was reconditioned as part of a complete overhaul of the IRS unit.

    During the restoration it was decided to fit a new 3.8-litre engine, which was built by Rob Beere Racing. RBR Sportsman con-rods were fitted, the crankshaft was reground, and a new flywheel was matched to it. The original engine (R8575-9) has stayed with the car and is offered as part of the sale, and the E-type retains its original Moss gearbox (EB7723JS).

    An upgraded cooling system was specified, complete with Kenlowe fan, the electrics were converted to negative earth, and a modern starter motor and high-pressure fuel pump were added.

    Having been converted to right-hand drive – and a smaller wood-rim steering wheel fitted – the Jaguar was retrimmed by AM Automotive Interiors. After the finishing touches had been applied, the car was MoT’d during the summer of 2021 and returned to the road for the first time in more than 30 years, having been given the registration number 301 XVK.

    Now being offered for sale at The Classic Motor Hub, this beautifully presented Jaguar Series 1 E-type would be equally at home on the concours field as it would be showing off its immense performance on a cross-country run. The suspension features adjustable dampers and the wheels and tyres have also been upgraded, giving this E-type a much-improved level of ride and handling.

    All of the expenditure from its restoration is carefully catalogued in the car’s history file, there is a complete photographic record of the work carried out, and it also comes with a Heritage Certificate.

    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?
