1962 Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Roadster – $249,950

This magnificent example of an early E-Type Roadster is beautifully presented following an extensive and detailed restoration.

With a 3.8-litre, twin-camshaft 6-cylinder motor giving 265 bhp, the E-Type had performance to match the fastest cars in the world.

This is a matching-numbers car supported by a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate and telling us it was built on the 1st of January 1962 and delivered new via Jaguar Cars of New York. Early ownership history of this car is documented back to the 1970s with current service history by Classic and Sportscar Boutique of Norwood, Adelaide Classic Jaguar specialists.

With the car is the Australian Import Approval and also supporting documents from automotive engineers in Adelaide, Tonkin Consulting regarding the right-hand-drive conversion. No cutting or welding is necessary for a conversion of an E-Type.

The E-Type looks elegant in Old English White with chrome wire wheels, light tan leather interior and black soft top.

It is not hard to see that every element of the car has received detailed attention in the restoration process, and the car wants for nothing.

I have it on good authority that the car drives as well as it looks!

It is one of the earliest examples of this iconic model in Australia. The car is in South Australia and belongs to an owner I know, whose collection includes some very significant cars. To be sold in conjunction with a colleague in Adelaide.
