M.O.T JAN 2005
In March 1961, Jaguar announced their revolutionary new sports-car, available in either open 2-seater or fixed head coupe form, with monocoque chassis, aerodynamic body panels and headlamps faired in to the wings.
From the 850428 chassis number, this Browns Lane works built Jaguar roadster is one of the last of the early right-hand drive E Types. As presented today, in the period correct Carmen Red paintwork with black leather trim, it is to the original specification as it left the Coventry factory in 1962. The Lucas PL headlights, as supplied to the early models, the correct steering wheel as well as the now politically incorrect ashtray set into the dashboard are as they should be. Indeed, all the numbers of the major components, including the gearbox, are still intact and matching, and even the distinctive registration has been on the car from new.
In receipt of what has clearly been a sympathetically executed restoration, and although not to concours d'elegance standard, the 3.8-litre 6-cylinder powered sports is said to be in good overall condition with fair paintwork and good interior. Wire wheels and tyres have been renewed, as have heater box, radiator and header tank, whilst motor, 4-speed manual gearbox and electrical equipment are reportedly all in good order. Apart from there being lots of former bills detailing work carried out, we understand that the history file contains a Jaguar Heritage Certificate confirming manufacturing details. The vendor also tells us that he will have driven this desirable motor car to Buxton.
