1962 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 3.8 Grey Metallic 4 Speed Manual Roadster. 1962 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 3.8L Roadster * Matching Numbers*. One of the Purest Icons of British Motoring. A rare opportunity has emerged to acquire one of the most desirable and beautifully preserved examples of Jaguar legendary Series 1 E-Type Roadster, a genuine 1962 3.8-litre model, presented in metallic grey with red leather, complete with a Jaguar Heritage Certificate (#68632) verifying its authenticity and specification. This particular Jaguar E-Type was originally delivered new in Hong Kong in January 1962. Some years later, it was shipped to Thailand, where it was owned by a European businessman who devoted many years to restoring it to a show-winning standard. The car went on to win several awards at classic car shows in Thailand before being sold to its most recent owner. The previous owner kept the E-Type in Phuket for several years, driving it only sparingly and storing it in a private, climate-controlled garage. It was cherished more as a prized showpiece than a regular driver. A few years later, the car was shipped back to the UK, where the owner also operated a luxury car storage facility. He entrusted the E-Type to a renowned Jaguar specialist ( Paul Brown Classic Jaguar ) to have it thoroughly inspected and fine-tuned to ensure everything was in perfect order. The mechanic who worked on it, a veteran of Jaguar?s early years, remarked that he could very well have been on the original assembly line when this very car was built in 1962. After spending over 30 years living abroad, the owner has since returned to Sydney and brought with him several of his rare collectible cars from the UK, one of which is this exceptional Jaguar E-Type 3.8L Roadster. The car has been treasured, garaged, and kept under cover, used only on the rarest of occasions for select events. For the past decades, it has been stored away from the elements, preserved with care, seldom seen in public, and now finally offered for sale. Under its long, sculpted bonnet lies Jaguars iconic 3.8L straight-six, presented in immaculate condition. Every component, down to the last bolt, has been either carefully restored or meticulously maintained to factory standards. Inside, you?ll find period-correct leather bucket seats, a rare aluminium centre console and dashboard, and the quintessential wood-rimmed 3-spoke steering wheel, all of it capturing the charm and craftsmanship that define early E-Types. This genuine early series 1 model 3.8L example is so rare and collectable, sought after by Jaguar fanatics, enthusiasts and purists. Demand for original style examples like this has pushed prices up and will continue to increase in value over time. We think that this specific specimen is worth more and will sell quickly.
