Finished from the factory in Opalescent Silver Blue, the car was repainted its current shade of dark green during the refurbishment. Additional work at that time reportedly included repairs to the body and hood, as well as re-chroming or replacing various pieces of brightwork. Exterior features include a louvered hood, a black soft top, replacement glass headlight covers, and a chrome driver’s side-view mirror.

Finished from the factory in Opalescent Silver Blue, the car was repainted its current shade of dark green during the refurbishment. Additional work at that time reportedly included repairs to the body and hood, as well as re-chroming or replacing various pieces of brightwork. Exterior features include a louvered hood, a black soft top, replacement glass headlight covers, and a chrome driver’s side-view mirror.
Chrome 15” wire wheels are secured by two-eared knock-off spinners and mounted with Pirelli tires. The suspension was overhauled during the refurbishment and fitted with replacement bushings, ball joints, tie rods, and shocks, while work during current ownership is said to have included replacement of the steering rack and a refresh of the four-wheel disc brakes.
The cabin was trimmed in light blue from the factory but has since been reupholstered in tan with leather bucket seats and matching door panels and carpets. Features include lap belts, a push-button Radiomobile AM radio, and toggle switches for vehicle functions.
A wood-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel with an E-Type center cap sits ahead of Smiths instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer and a 6k-rpm tachometer with an inset analog clock. A quartet of auxiliary instrumentation in the center stack includes an ammeter, along with displays for coolant temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 88k miles, around 2k of which have been added during current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 3.8-liter inline-six is equipped with triple SU carburetors and was reportedly rebuilt in 2012 with .020″ overbore pistons. Work during current ownership is said to have included the installation of electronic ignition, an electric seven-blade fan, and a replacement radiator and alternator. Cylinder head stamping R4437-9 is shown in the gallery.
Engine block stamping R4437-9 is shown above, and matches the number stamped on the cylinder head and displayed on the Heritage Trust certificates as seen in the gallery.
The four-speed manual transmission and rear differential were reportedly rebuilt during current ownership. Additional underbody images are provided in the gallery below.
The Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate shows a completion date of March 7, 1962 along with the factory colors and identification numbers.
