SENSIBLE TOURING 3.8 COUPE

HIGHLIGHTS

• Early UK-Supplied 3.8 – Manufactured on 1962 and supplied new through Hoffmans of Sheffield.
• 5-Speed Manual Gearbox – Improving cruising refinement and making longer journeys more relaxed.
• Upgraded Road Specification – Adjustable front suspension, uprated cooling, alternator conversion and wider 6½ x 15-inch wire wheels.
• Recent E-Type UK Preparation – Recent mechanical and electrical rectification carried out by E-Type UK.
• Classic Colour Combination – Finished in Opalescent Silver Grey with a contrasting red interior.

OVERVIEW

Manufactured on May 1962, originally supplied through Hoffmans of Sheffield and first registered as 133 DWA. Its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Certificate records the car as a right-hand-drive 3.8-litre Fixed Head Coupé, originally finished in Opalescent Silver Grey with a red interior.

Today, the car benefits from a 5-speed manual gearbox, helping to make longer-distance driving more relaxed, together with adjustable front suspension, an uprated cooling system and a dynamo-to-alternator conversion. Wider 6½ x 15-inch wire wheels give the car a subtly more purposeful stance while remaining entirely in keeping with the E-Type’s period appearance.

Inside, a modern radio and upgraded speakers add a discreet degree of contemporary convenience without detracting from the overall character of the cabin.

More recently, the car has undergone a substantial programme of preparation with E-Type UK, addressing a range of mechanical, electrical, suspension, cooling and fuel-system items.

UPGRADES & PREPARATION

• 5-speed manual gearbox
• Adjustable front suspension
• Uprated cooling system
• Dynamo-to-alternator conversion
• 6½ x 15-inch wire wheels
• Modern radio and speakers
• Recent E-Type UK mechanical and electrical preparation

WHY THIS CAR STANDS OUT

• Early 1962 Series 1 3.8 Fixed Head Coupé
• Original UK right-hand-drive example
• Desirable Opalescent Silver Grey over red specification
• 5-speed manual gearbox
• Sensible usability upgrades
• Recent specialist preparation by E-Type UK

Rather than presenting as a strictly factory-standard example, this E-Type’s appeal lies in retaining the character of an early 3.8 while benefiting from sympathetic improvements that make it easier and more enjoyable to use regularly.
