Auction description:
This particular 'matching numbers' example was reportedly treated to an extensive 'nut and bolt' restoration to show standards in the early '90s, including: thoroughly overhauled engine, gearbox and running gear; all new outer body panels and conversion from Fixed Head to Roadster by Martin Robey; new upholstery by Suffolk and Turley. It subsequently achieved a string of concours successes and appeared on Top Gear's 'The Car's The Star' E-Type TV special and in Practical Classics magazine. Purchased by the vendor from Henry Pearman at Eagle E-Types in 1997, the car continued to be used primarily for shows, and was also featured in the October 1997 edition of Classic Cars. Though little exercised in recent years, it has always been garaged in a dehumidified environment. It's finished in opalescent silver blue with dark blue trim and apparently comes complete with correct tool kit, jack and a detailed history file including: heritage certificate, restoration photographs and invoices. Described by the vendor as being in "excellent" condition with regard to its engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork, '5680 PP' is expected to have a new MOT by the time of the sale.

PLEASE NOTE: This lot does not have a current MOT certificate. It failed a recent test due to faults with its handbrake and rear brakes. A copy of the fail sheet is included with the history file as is a recent invoice totalling circa £370 for work done to the front brakes and a fuel system flush.

A 'matching numbers' example, this desirable early E-Type was manufactured as a fixed-head coupé and subsequently converted to roadster configuration during an extensive restoration to 'show' standard in the early 1990s. All new outer body panels were fitted by Martin Robey, who also performed the conversion, while the interior was re-trimmed by Suffolk & Turley and the engine, gearbox and running gear overhauled. '568 OPP' subsequently achieved a string of concours successes and appeared on Top Gear's 'The Car's the Star' E-Type special on BBC television and also in 'Practical Classics' magazine. Purchased by the current owner from Henry Pearman at Eagle E-Types in 1997, the car continued to be used primarily for shows and also featured in the October 1997 edition of 'Classic Cars'.

Auction description:

25th Jun, 2025

UTAC Millbrook, Milton Keynes, Bedfordshire

1962 Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Litre Convertible

Estimate £65,000 - £85,000

Registration No: 5680 PP

Chassis No: 860201

MOT: Exempt

An original RHD matching numbers example

Converted from a FHC to its current convertible guise in the late 1990s

Offered with an extensive history file

Subject to an extensive older restoration that still presents very well

As recorded on a 1989 Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate this particular 'matching chassis and engine numbers' example was manufactured as a Fixedhead Coupe on 31 January 1962, finished in Gunmetal with blue interior, and supplied to its first owner via Henlys, London. According to a 1991 letter on file from Buckinghamshire County Council, by the mid 1960s the car was registered under 5680 PP to Denham Mushroom of Denham, Suffolk. They also state the previous registration number as being 333 NML.

The car was reportedly treated to an extensive 'nut and bolt' restoration to show standards in the early '90s, including: thoroughly overhauled engine, gearbox and running gear; all new outer body panels and conversion from Fixedhead to Roadster by Martin Robey together with a retrim using new upholstery by Suffolk and Turley. Photographs of some of this work together with a detailed job listing accompany the car. The beautifully restored E-Type subsequently achieved a string of concours successes and even appeared on Top Gear's 'The Car's The Star' E-Type TV special and was also featured in Practical Classics magazine. Subsequently sold by renowned marque specialist Henry Pearman of Eagle E-Types in 1997, the car continued to be used primarily for shows, and was also featured in the October 1997 edition of Classic Cars magazine.

Finished attractively in Opalescent Silver Blue with dark blue trim and sitting on chrome wire wheels this beautiful looking E-Type is offered with a detailed history file including: heritage certificate, restoration photographs and invoices. Described by the vendor as being in "excellent" condition with regard to its engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork, '5680 PP' presents very well indeed – a lasting testimony to the high standard of the restoration works previously carried out.
