According to its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Certificate, chassis number 877718 was completed on the 10th of July 1962 and was supplied new through Jaguar Cars, New York, United States of America, being dispatched on the 3rd of August 1962. An early series one Roadster, it has a 3.8-litre engine with a four-speed manual transmission. Owned by a Beverly Wilson of New York between 1967 and 2014, the E-Type was subsequently purchased by John Delong (who is well-renowned as one of the largest E-type collectors in America) where it remained until it was sold and repatriated to the UK in 2019. Originally presented in Opalescent Silver Blue with Dark Blue interior, upon repatriation ‘912 XVL’ was in restored condition and finished in the Red paintwork and Black interior color combination seen today. The recommissioning was completed by ASM Classics Ltd of Brands Hatch once in the UK including being converted from the original left-hand-drive configuration to right-hand-drive, as presented for sale today. This ‘matching numbers’ example has been UK-registered and is accompanied by a current V5C document and the aforementioned JDHT heritage certificate.
