PRICE REDUCED!! This is a wonderful example of a 1962 Jaguar XKE Series 1 OTS Roadster that benefitted from three long term owners and is in gorgeous condition today. This Jaguar has been well cared for and loved its entire life. While never receiving a complete restoration, this has been restored as needed over the decades. With its matching numbers 3.8-liter inline engine, 4-speed transmission and vibrant color combination, this E-Type is perfect for regional shows and tours. This Jaguar was built by the factory on July 13, 1962, and dispatched to the New York distributor on the 8th of August 1962. According to her owner, this Jaguar remained with its first owner for 23 years. She was acquired by her second owner, Dell Lichtenburg in Boseman, MT, by about 1985. Mr. Lichtenburg enjoyed her for six years. During that time, he replaced her black Haartz cloth convertible top. Our client, Marvin Brown from Billings, MT purchased her from Mr. Lichtenburg in 1992. Mr. Brown added about 50 miles over the first 10 years of ownership and then decided to store her on blocks to better preserve its condition. He was advised that placing her on blocks would be ideal to preserve the suspension, so he had her carefully professionally decommissioned for storage. For the next 20 years, this Jaguar remained on blocks in his air conditioned garage. In 2022, Mr. Brown had her fully professionally recommissioned and detailed, and today she runs and drives very well and looks fantastic. She is accompanied by a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, which confirms her to be an original Carmen Red and numbers matching example. The exterior of this Jaguar is stunning.
