Re: E-type market - are cars selling?

I don't see any E-Types in the 'cars still for sale' sections which suggests buyers and sellers expectations were matched. The major auction houses only accept E-Types as No Reserve at the Monterey auctions. Mecum will allow a reserve and they actually had one that did not sell, high bid $200,000.

Re: E-type market - are cars selling?

For what it's worth: the E-type market here in the U.S. remains very strong. Just minutes ago a very pretty, fully-restored 1966 OTS was hammered sold at a whopping $325,000 (versus an auction estimate of $220-260k) at the Gooding & Co. Pebble Beach auction. Yes, it's just one data point, but still...

My chassis number is 877639, chassis number on that one is 876369, exactly 1270 cars apart. Now it does not list the body number. My body ...

Re: 3.8 OTS values, July 2018

Hi Robbiee, LHD All the numbers match on the car, the data plate, and the Heritage Certificate, and the colors are as it was born, white with red interior. Car is in the US. Has been in my family since 1982. I commissioned an insane over the top restoration that is just being completed now. NO modif...

3.8 OTS values, July 2018

Hello,

Asking prices are all over the place, so are car conditions. Anyone have any thoughts on what a freshly restored Series 1, 3.8 OTS is? Perfectly restored to be precise.

Thanks,

Sixcarbs

Re: Royal Jaguar?

One article I read said it was a 1968, which it doesn't look like to me. Another article called it an E-Type Zero which may be something retrofitted by the factory, maybe with an electric motor???

Re: Car value

My name is Jay. The car is in San Frrancisco, I am in Europe. It's a 1963 OTS. My first question is what is the value of a fully restored perfect example? This 1965 4.2 sold at Sotheby's for $308,000 last January and it had modifications. http://www.rmsothebys.com/az17/arizona/lots/1965-jaguar-e-typ...

What is the history of seat belts in E-Types? When, if ever, were they optional, when did they become standard equipment.

I was under the impression that my 1963 was not born with them.
