Car to be at auction 12/18
www.bonhams.com/auctions/24881/lot/149/
Auction description:
Lot 149
1962 Jaguar E-Type 'Series 1' 3.8-Litre Coupé
Registration no. 5101 VC
Chassis no. 886967
£ 90,000 - 110,000
US$ 120,000 - 140,000
London Olympia
*Delivered new to Canada
*Left-hand drive
*Early aluminium dashboard model
*All original components and matching numbers
*Restored between 2003 and 2009
*500 dry miles since completion
Delivered new to Jaguar of Eastern Canada in Montreal, chassis number '886967' was imported from Vancouver, Canada and registered in the UK this year (2018) with all duties paid. All four Canadian owners are known (see list on file) and the car has covered a genuine circa 106,500 miles from new. The accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate records the original colour scheme as Opalescent Silver Blue with Maroon interior trim, and the first owner as one R E Udd.
In 2003 a comprehensive 'last nut and bolt' restoration was commenced by the last owner (a professional engineer) and finally completed in 2009, since when the E-Type has covered only 500 dry miles. The car was restored to standard specification apart from two safety-related upgrades: four-pot Girling front brakes (early E-Types are well known for inadequate braking performance) and standard seats converted to 'high backs'. A multi-bladed radiator fan has been added for improved cooling (another weak point) and, for convenience, a glove box has been fitted between the seats (as per later 3.8s and 4.2s). A new 'dotted aluminium' trim-panel for the transmission tunnel is included in the sale should the purchaser prefer the original look. The original valve radio is included, but not fitted, and the car could easily be returned to 'factory' specification if desired. Conversion to right-hand drive would be relatively straightforward and inexpensive.
As a matter of interest, the current vendor purchased the 1961 Geneva Motor Show E-Type roadster, '77 RW', back in 1966 for £400 – a car now regarded as priceless - thus starting his 52-year addiction to early E-Types. Described by him as in excellent condition, this beautiful early E-Type coupé is offered with restoration photographs, a UK V5C Registration Certificate, and the aforementioned JHT Certificate.

Conversion to right-hand drive would be relatively straightforward and inexpensive.
The current lady owner purchased the car at Bonhams' Goodwood sale in April 2019 (Lot 54) as a companion to the 'flat floor' E-Type Roadster in this sale. The odometer reading at that time was circa 5,600 kilometres and is now 7,673 kilometres, which is believed to be the distance travelled since the restoration. Since acquisition a new clutch has been fitted, the brakes refurbished and several other adjustments made to bring the car to perfect working condition. These works were carried out by Bob Houghton at a cost of circa £10,000. This beautiful early E-Type coupé is offered with restoration photographs, a UK V5C Registration Certificate, and the aforementioned JHT Certificate. (The original front brake callipers are included in the sale.)
