1962 JAGUAR 3.8L ROADSTER

JAGUAR DAIMLER HERITAGE TRUST (JHDT)

THE JHDT IS A REGISTERED CHARITY THAT STRIVES TO PRESERVE THE HERITAGE OF
JAGUAR CARS. JAGUAR'S HISTORIC PRODUCTION RECORD DATA IS TRANSFERRED TO
THE JHDT WHICH, AS PART OF THEIR AGREEMENT WITH JAGUAR CARS, HAS THE
EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO SUPPLY HISTORIC INFORMATION ON JAGUAR VEHICLES.

THIS 1962 E-TYPE SERIES I IS REGISTERED WITH THE HERITAGE TRUST.

EUROPEAN CARS HAVE OFTEN BEEN DEFINED BY THE PEOPLE THAT BUY THEM. CERTAIN ITALIAN CARS,
FOR EXAMPLE, CATER TO THE PLAYBOY IMAGE. ROLLS ROYCE'S ARE STILL USED IN SOCIALIST CARTOONS
WHERE A BLOATED PLUTOCRAT SMOKES A FAT CIGAR AND VINTAGE BENTLEYS ARE IN THE BULLDOG
DRUMMOND TRADITION OF HEROES WHO RESCUE MAIDENS IN DISTRESS.

THE JAGUAR, ON THE OTHER HAND, HAS APPEALED TO SO MANY PEOPLE WITH SO MANY CARS THAT IT IS NOT REALLY POSSIBLE TO CHARACTERIZE IT IN THIS WAY. THE JAGUAR IS A CAR WHICH BEARS THE IMAGE, NOT THE BUYERS.

ALMOST ALL JAGUARS HAVE CAPTURED THE SPIRIT OF THEIR TIMES IN A VERY SPECIAL WAY. SUCH IS THE CASE
WITH THIS GORGEOUS NUMBERS-MATCHING 1962 3.8L E-TYPE ROADSTER. THIS RARE SERIES 1 IS CONSIDERED
BY JAGUAR COLLECTORS AS THE MOST PURE SPORTS CAR OF THE ENTIRE 14 YEAR RUN OF THIS BREED.

THIS VERY EARLY PRODUCTION MODEL IS ONE OF THE FIRST FEW ROADSTERS BUILT IN EARLY 1962 WITH THE
SUNKEN FOOT WELLS IN THE FLOORS. AN ORIGINAL JAGUAR HERITAGE TRUST CERTIFICATE ACCOMPANIES
THIS BEAUTY AND CONFIRMS ALL THE MATCHING NUMBERED COMPONENTS THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE.

THERE WERE 3 PREVIOUS OWNERS WITH THE SECOND OWNER COMPLETING A $40,000. RESTORATION IN THE
MID 1990's. AT THAT POINT, THE CAR WAS CHANGED FROM IT'S ORIGINAL OPALESCENT BLUE TO A CORRECT
1962 CARMEN RED WITH BISCUIT INTERIOR. ODOMETER READS 3653 MILES BUT THE TRUE MILEAGE IS UNKNOWN.

IF YOU ARE IN THE MARKET, OR EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT, DON'T PASS UP THIS OPPORTUNITY TO
ACQUIRE A CLASSIC JAGUAR THAT YOU CAN ENJOY, BOTH NOW AND WHEN YOU GET A
SUBSTANTIAL RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT. CLASSIC CARS YIELD AN 8 POINT ROI.
HOWEVER, JAGUAR's OF THIS CALIBER EXCEED THAT NUMBER ANNUALLY.
THE NICE THING ABOUT OLD CARS IS ...THEY ALWAYS GET OLDER.
