Seller's description:
1962 Jaguar XKE E-Type “Stunning restoration, show car, gorgeous, the best!” VIN S886541 Engine #R6853-9 DESIRABLE EARLY SERIES 1 FIXED HEAD COUPE -REFINED UPGRADES -GORGEOUS FACTORY CORRECT COLOR COMBINATION -DOCUMENTATION INCLUDES OWNER’S MANUAL, JAGUAR -HERITAGE TRUST CERTIFICATE, -RECENTLY SERVICED -PERFORMS BETTER THAN NEW -READY TO BE SHOWN OR DRIVEN -ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES THAT CAN BE FOUND ON THE MARKET TODAY -OPTIONS INCLUDE: -BUCKET SEATS -WOOD RIMMED STEERING WHEEL -CHROME WIRE WHEELS -ELECTRIC POWER STEERING The car on offer here is a stunning 1962 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 Fixed Head Coupe. The car has been the recipient of a full rotisserie restoration by Catz Automotive, a Jaguar marque specialist in Ohio. The quality of the restoration and the condition of this car cannot be overstated; it is one of the finest examples of a show car we have ever seen. Finished in its stunning color combination of Dark Grey over a Red leather interior. The Silver Grey paint in show quality and all the trim and rubber is in show condition. The Red leather interior is likewise in near new condition. The original engine was rebuilt and runs as designed; it makes great power and torque. The transmission shifts well and the car drives like new. This E-type benefits from a few modern upgrades that make the car more driveable. It features electric power steering (hidden so well that even an expert would have trouble seeing it) which can be removed if desired. The accompanying Jaguar Heritage Certificate documents that the car was completed at the Coventry works on August 6, 1962. In August 1962, this Jaguar was dispatched to New York where it was acquired by it first owner,C. Kochoff soon after. As one of the earlier coupes built for the North American market with left hand drive, this E-type is a highly sought-after example. A complete frame-off restoration was completed in 2005 with an emphasis on drivability and a meticulous attention to detail. Fanatical upkeep and maintenance has been employed since, ensuring that this E-type has been kept at high level both cosmetically and mechanically. We are proud to offer this stunning 1962 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 Fixed Head Coupe to the most particular collector, investor or enthusiast who appreciates the provenance and rarity of the early Jaguar E-Type.
