1997 Jaguar XK8 Coupe 1CYD388 – $36,500

Leave a reply

This elegant V8 Jaguar coupe was delivered new in Melbourne.

It has comprehensive service history supported by stamped service booklets from new. By 1998 the car had moved to Western Australia and was regularly serviced by Barbagallo Jaguar, Wilf Chambers Jaguar and Roadbend Motors and the details in the service books verify the car’s low mileage of 101,000km today.

The present owner has had the car for 17 years. He added chrome tail light surrounds and driving lights.

In 2024 and early 2025 major work was undertaken. This included a new power steering pump, engine and transmission mounts, new hoses, pipes and expansion tank for the cooling system, new adaptive rear shock absorbers and other minor items – some $15,000 spent.

The owner used the Jaguar as an extra car not in everyday use, hence its low mileage.

It sits on good Continental tyres, the alloy wheels free of kerb damage. There are a few stone chips and small scratches in the paintwork, but the body is straight and finish excellent. Inside, the car presents well too. Luxuriously fitted out, the light-coloured upholstery suits the car well, with the polished woodwork in excellent condition.

Easy to use around town and wonderful on the open road, with elegant styling and high comfort levels, it offers a great deal for a very reasonable price. This example has excellent service history and especially low mileage.

1962 Jaguar E-Type FHC – SOLD

Leave a reply

This smart example of Jaguar’s E-Type in its purest form, this 1962 3.8 Series 1 is the 409th of the first 500 Fixed Head Coupes built.  It was completed on 13 April 1962 and dispatched on 1 May 1962 to Jaguar dealer Henlys of London.

The car features early upgrades including the improved floor and inside bonnet latches but still has the early style alloy dash panel and centre console. Its matching numbers engine has an SP straight port head with the correct R suffix. A copy of a Heritage Certificate is with the car.

This car had belonged to an owner in Victoria for some time, and after his death it was put on the market. The buyer was highly-respected Porsche distributor, racing driver and collector, Alan Hamilton who sold the car to a Western Australian collector.

After arrival in Perth, considerable work was undertaken on the car. The cooling system was comprehensively overhauled, the brakes received attention and a full service. All this work done by a British classic car specialist company. Later work included more work to the brakes, work on the carburettors and choke and minor electrical items.

The car has been repainted many years ago, but aside from some paint chips, presents well. However, it’s not a show car – and there are minor areas which a new owner may wish to consider upgrading – such as the stone chips, deterioration of chrome on the tail-light mounts and similar items. The car has been realistically priced taking this into account.

The car runs very well – and it has the typical wonderful E-type exhaust note.

If sold to a Western Australian buyer the number plates XKE 62 go with the car.

These are wonderful, attractive, high-performance sports cars, exemplifying the Sixties and yet still providing fun and stylish motoring today.
