1962 JAGUAR E-TYPE/ XKE 3.8 LITER FIXED HEAD COUPE. SERIES ONE. ALLOY DASH. 4-SPEED. WIRE WHEELS. ORIGINAL COLORS CARMEN RED/ BLACK TRIM. KURT TANNER RESTORATIONS offers here for sale on Ebay a very nice Jaguar for restoration. This Jaguar E-type is a 1962 model, only the second year produced. It appears to have originally left the factory in the desirable Carmen Red with Black interior trim, a color scheme that suits the character of these early Coupes particularly well. This car was recently purchased from the Pacific Northwest where it spent a lot of it's life. However, there is an insurance sticker on the inside of the windshield that indicates it could have resided in Mexico during the 1960's/ 1970's...The body/monocoque on this car is very decent and solid overall. The original factory floors appear very solid with no rust-through, although there are some dents from underneath. There is some bubbling under the battery tray area on the LH side as well as in front of the LH wheelarch (photo). The boot (trunk) floor is solid but a little scaly, with some very minor rust-through on the RH side under a spare tire stiffener and behind the RH wheel (photo). The rest of the car appears excellent and factory correct, with great floors and jacking points. This car has never been restored, and no welding has ever altered it. The doors, hood, and trunk hatch all appear very nice and solid. They all fit the car extremely well, although the hood could use the typical alignment. At one point the subframes had some alterations, but a very nice extra pair and a bonnet subframe are included with the sale (photo). The car currently has a non-matching 3.8 liter engine (stuck) with a correct straight-port E-type 3.8 cylinder head (R-2391-9). The gearbox is a correct 3.8 liter unit. A correct set of 3.8 triple carbs with intake are also included with the sale, and I will update the photos soon with an image of them. There are a few easy items that are missing if they are not pictured. The car's interior trim has all the original components for restoration including the correct seats, steering wheel, alloy dash parts, sun visors, etc. The windshield is broken and needs replacing. One of the windshield side finisher trim is missing.Overall, this car is a very nice early E-type 3.8 Liter Fixed Head Coupe for straightforward restoration, with a very good body. These cars continue to be excellent investments because they are the last affordable luxury marque of the 1960's with intoxicating styling, sophisticated mechanicals, and a great racing heritage. This car can be viewed in Southern California by appointment. It is sold with a clear title. $34,750. KURT TANNER RESTORATIONS. 909-920-9221, work. 909-241-1051, cell.
