1962 | Jaguar Type E 3.8

Jaguar E-Type – California Import – Racing Green – Highly Original and Characterful Example

We are offering a particularly beautiful 1962 Jaguar E-Type – directly from dry and sunny California (USA). California is known for its favorable climate for classic cars, which reduces the risk of rust formation and often keeps the bodywork in exceptionally good condition. This example is no exception. The car still needs to be registered in the Netherlands, but it has the necessary American papers, making registration here a breeze.

Exterior – Iconic Racing Green

The E-Type is finished in the classic and beloved Racing Green, a shade that perfectly accentuates the sensual lines and timeless design of this British legend. The paint is in neat, used condition, befitting a car of this age. As with many original examples, there are some visible signs of wear. The most notable of these is some wear to the chrome on the rear bumper. However, this remains a cosmetic issue that can easily be repaired to your liking and does not detract from the car's impressive appearance.

Interior & Convertible Top – Stylish in Camel & Beige

The interior forms a beautiful contrast with the dark exterior: camel-colored upholstery combined with beige carpet. Everything is in beautiful, well-maintained condition, making the interior immediately inviting to get behind the wheel. The whole look is completed by a new camel-colored leatherette convertible top, recently installed, which gives the car a fresh, luxurious appearance. This new top closes tightly, looks very stylish, and provides excellent weather protection.

Technology & History

The car has only 7,745 miles on the odometer. Although classics from this period often have higher mileage, this low mileage is an attractive feature for collectors and enthusiasts. The engine runs smoothly, the car shifts well, and the chassis makes a well-maintained impression—exactly what you would expect from a car that has spent years in the favorable Californian climate. A Perfect Foundation for Further Perfection

This Jaguar E-Type is a great choice for those seeking an original, honest example that both offers beautiful driving pleasure and provides an excellent foundation for minor cosmetic improvements or further restoration to personal taste. With its iconic Racing Green paint, fresh camel interior, and low mileage, this example offers a combination you don't often find.

In short: a characterful, stylish classic awaiting a new owner with a passion for British elegance and timeless design.
