The car left the factory finished in black and was repainted its current shade of gray in 1987. Details include a blue soft top, a louvered clamshell hood, covered headlights, dual center-exit exhaust outlets, and wrap-around chrome bumpers with overriders and front and rear grille guards. Paint chips are shown in the gallery below. The seller notes a bend in the antenna, and a dent in the front driver’s side was repaired in preparation for the sale.

Chrome-finished 15″ knock-off wire wheels are mounted with 195/75 Michelin XA4 Radial X tires. Braking is handled by servo-assisted four-wheel discs. The steering column bushing was replaced in November 2022.

The cockpit features bucket seats that were retrimmed during the refurbishment along with the dashboard, door panels, and shift boot. Appointments include color-coordinated carpeting, an aluminum-trimmed center stack and console, an open glovebox, and lap belts.

The wood-rimmed steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer and a 6k-rpm tachometer, both of which were repaired in 1989. Auxiliary gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, fuel level, and amperage are mounted in the center stack. The five-digit odometer shows 10k miles. True mileage is unknown.

The 3.8-liter inline-six features triple SU carburetors that were repaired in 2007. The engine was rebuilt as part of the 1987 refurbishment and was overhauled again in 2003. Service in 2022 included cleaning the carburetor floats, repairing the fuel tank and choke, and replacing the battery as well as the fuel pump, filter, and sending unit.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission that was rebuilt in 1987 along with the clutch and driveshaft. The clutch assembly was replaced and oil leaks were repaired in 2007. Rust is noted on the exhaust system.

The Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate indicates a manufacture date of February 2, 1962, and lists factory serial numbers and colors as well as distribution through Jaguar Cars of New York.

The chassis tag shown above displays a serial number 876682, while the California title lists the VIN as J62876682.

The car is being offered on behalf of an estate with a title in the name of the family trust.
