Car to be at auction June '14

Greenwich Concours d'Elegance Auction
1 Jun 2014
1963 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 3.8-Liter Roadster
Chassis no. 880753 Engine no. RA4734-9
Lot 335
Estimate US$ 90,000 - 120,000 £54,000 - 71,000
According to its Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, this Jaguar was manufactured on December 18, 1963 and delivered to Jaguar Cars New York. It was sold to Fleischman Car Leasing on January 8, 1964. The next owner of record was Francis Koo of Troy, NY, who then sold the car to Peter Wrisley of New Hampshire in 1972. Thirteen years later, in 1985, ownership passed over to Mr. Wrisleys uncle, Donald Hatch. However it was purchased back by Wrisley in 1992 and remained there until it was sold to the current owner in 2004.
The car was subject to a bare metal respray in 1995. An authentic re-trim of the interior in the correct original color hides was also performed at this time. A new top with shot-filed canvas was installed to prevent high speed buffeting. The paint job still shows well today though there are some minor indications of its age.
In the early 2000s the suspension was completely torn down and crack tested. All bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends, steering column u-joints, torsion bars, shocks and coils were all renewed, mostly with upgraded components. Adjustable coil over shocks and stiffer sway bars and mounts were all fitted at this time, and the rear axle u-joints were replaced along with the timing chain and engine seals.
Importantly this E-Type includes a rare original factory hard top, arguably one of the best looking hard tops offered for a car of this era. When fitted to the car it is transformed into a striking GT coupe. Made of light weight Fiberglas the hard top is relatively easy to manage and can be removed with minimal effort.
It goes without saying that this is an expertly prepared and well-presented machine. It has been lovingly maintained and stored in a climate controlled facility for the last decade. It is offered in ready to use condition from a very good home.

According to its accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, this Jaguar was manufactured on December 18, 1963 and delivered to Jaguar Cars New York. It was sold to Fleischman Car Leasing on January 8, 1964. The next owner of record was Francis Koo of Troy, New York, who then sold the car to Peter Wrisley of New Hampshire in 1972. Thirteen years later, in 1985, ownership passed over to Mr. Wrisleys uncle, Donald Hatch. However it was purchased back by Wrisley in 1992 and remained there until it was sold to the current owner in 2004.
The Jaguar received a bare metal respray in 1995; at the same point in time, an authentic re-trim of the interior in the correct original color hides was also executed. A new top with shot-filled canvas was installed to prevent high speed buffeting. The paint work continues to show well, though there are some minor hints of its age. In the early 2000s the suspension was completely torn down and crack tested. All bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends, steering column u-joints, torsion bars, shocks and coils were all renewed, mostly with upgraded components. Adjustable coil over shocks and stiffer sway bars and mounts were all fitted at this time, and the rear axle u-joints were replaced along with the timing chain and engine seals. The 3.8-liter, 265-hp inline six-cylinder engine is paired to a five-speed manual transmission. The owner retains the original non-synchronized four-speed manual transmission.
Importantly this E-Type includes a rare original factory hardtop, arguably one of the best looking hardtops offered for a car of this era. When fitted to the car it is transformed into a striking GT coupe. Made of lightweight fiberglass, the hardtop is relatively easy to install and removed. The car is also accompanied by its books and tools; plus it has a more modern radio installed.
This is an expertly prepared and well-presented machine. It has been lovingly maintained and stored in a climate controlled facility for the last decade. It is offered in ready-to-use condition and comes from a very good, caring stewardship.

Auction description:
Lot: 025
1964 Jaguar E-type (XKE) 2-dr Hard Top Convertible
Estimate: $110,000 - $165,000 Without Reserve
Chassis Number: 880753
Engine: 3781cc DOHC in-line 6-cylinder
4-Speed Manual Transmission
Odometer: 52,644 miles
Early Production OTS
Restored and Ready to Toll
Appointed with All the Right Stuff
The Car - One of the best things about the Jaguar E-types is that they look good in just about any color, but most befitting colors for this design has to be Carmen Red, the hue of choice for this 1964 3.8-Liter version. Red is such a pretty color, especially when traveling at speed. The matching bucket seats have received the same treatment as well as the very rare removable hard top. The new soft top has been done in a conventional black and really compliments the entire look of the open two-seater. Under the hood that Jaguar engine has been rebuilt and detailed to show-car condition, with each of those SU carburetors acting like crown jewels. The wood-rimmed steering wheel looks so inviting and for the pilot of this car, the original white-on-black Smith's gauges are clean, clear, functioning and easy to read. The only non-factory element we spotted was the up-graded AM-FM-CD player mounted neatly in the dashboard. This car has retained almost all of its factory sheet metal and even its original serial number/data plate which lists the numbers for the chassis, engine, transmission and more. Riding on a set of chrome knock-off wire wheels, this E-type sits level with all trim, door, deck and hood panels lining up as new. Turn-key for the enjoyment of the road or enjoyment on the show field, all this E-type need is you.

Still a lovely, lovely car. Should sell on the 17th between 120K and 130K , my guess.
Maybe replace the screws on the data plate with rivets? And paint the bonnet springs black. Good luck !

This 1964 Jaguar XKE is a Series I roadster that was manufactured on December 18, 1963, and originally delivered to Jaguar Cars of New York. It was acquired in 2017 by the selling dealer and is said to have undergone a refurbishment in 1995. The numbers-matching 3.8-liter inline-six is paired with a five-speed manual transmission, and the car is finished in red over matching leather. Equipment includes a black soft top, a removable body-colored hardtop, chrome bumpers, 15” wire wheels, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a Sony cassette stereo. This XKE is offered with a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, service records, the removed four-speed transmission, and a clean Texas title.
The car left the factory finished in Carmen Red and was reportedly repainted as part of the refurbishment. Equipment includes a black soft top, a body-colored removable hardtop, chrome bumpers, a driver-side mirror, and stainless steel quad exhaust outlets.
Chrome 15” wire wheels feature two-eared knock-off spinners and are mounted with 205/70 Pirelli P400 tires. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs, and a spare tire is stored in the trunk.
The cockpit features fixed-back bucket seats and is said to have been re-trimmed in red leather including the door panels, center console, and shifter boot. Features include accessory toggle switches, a leather-wrapped shift knob, a Sony cassette stereo, Pioneer speakers, and black floor mats with red piping.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation consisting of a 160-mph speedometer and a 6k-rpm tachometer with an inset clock. Readouts for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and amperage are housed in the center of the dash. The five-digit odometer shows 53k miles, approximately 400 of which were added by the seller. Total mileage is unknown.
The 3.8-liter XK inline-six features triple SU carburetors, and a custom Stainless Brothers exhaust system was fitted under previous ownership.
Engine number RA4734-9 is stamped on the block and matches the numbers indicated on the cylinder head, chassis plate, and Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission, which was added under prior ownership. The removed four-speed transmission is included in the sale.
The Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate lists factory colors, identification numbers, and a manufacture date of December 18, 1963. Service records and a fire extinguisher are also included in the sale.

This 1964 Jaguar XKE is a Series I roadster that was manufactured on December 18, 1963 and was refurbished in the mid-1990s. It was acquired by the seller on BaT in September 2021, and its 3.8-liter inline-six was rebuilt in 2026. The car is finished in Carmen Red over red leather and is equipped with a five-speed manual transmission, a black soft top, a removable body-colored hardtop, 15” wire wheels, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a Sony cassette stereo. This XKE is offered with a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, service records, the removed four-speed transmission, additional spare parts, and a Washington title in the seller’s name.
This example left the factory finished in Carmen Red and was repainted during the aforementioned refurbishment. Equipment includes a black soft top, a body-colored removable hardtop, a driver-side mirror, a louvered clamshell hood, triple windshield wipers, and quad exhaust outlets.
The 15″ wire wheels are secured by two-eared knock-offs and are mounted with Pirelli 4000 tires measuring 205/70. Braking is provided by four-wheel discs with inboard-mounted rear rotors. The brake calipers, pads, and master cylinders were replaced in 2025.
The cockpit features fixed-back bucket seats that have been re-trimmed in red leather, and matching upholstery extends to the door panels, center console, and shifter boot. Features include a leather-wrapped shift knob, three-point seatbelts, a Sony cassette stereo, Pioneer speakers, and black floor mats with red piping.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation consisting of a 160-mph speedometer and a 6k-rpm tachometer with an inset clock. Readouts for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and amperage are housed in the center of the dash. The speedometer was rebuilt in July 2026, and the five-digit odometer shows 54k miles, approximately 500 of which were added under current ownership.
The 3.8-liter inline-six features triple SU carburetors and was factory rated at 265 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. The engine was rebuilt between 2025 and 2026 by Autosport of Seattle, Washington, and records from the work are provided in the gallery. A Pertronix distributor was installed at that time and the carburetors were synced and adjusted.
Engine block stamping RA4734-9 is shown above, and a corresponding number is stamped on the cylinder head and shown on both the chassis plate and Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate.
A five-speed manual transmission was installed under prior ownership along with a a Stainless Brothers exhaust system. The clutch hydraulic cylinders were replaced in March 2025.
The Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate lists factory colors, identification numbers, and a manufacture date of December 18, 1963.
The Washington title lists “Antique” and a prior “Classic” notation under the brands section
