Condition

This E-Type has received extensive mechanical restoration and refinement, with significant attention given to improving reliability, driving quality, and overall usability. Work has included the cooling system, steering components, suspension, braking system, electrical components, drivetrain mounts, throttle system, and rear axle components.

The result is a beautifully presented classic that drives with confidence while maintaining its authentic character. The bodywork has been repainted in the iconic British Racing Green, complemented by a rich red leather interior and original Jaguar wooden steering wheel.

The underbody is preserved and rust-free. Some age-related details remain, including minor paint imperfections, a slightly stiff passenger window, and small mechanical refinements typical of a classic vehicle of this era.

Story

The Jaguar E-Type made its world debut in 1961 and immediately became a sensation, combining stunning design with exceptional performance. Inspired by Jaguar’s successful D-Type racing heritage, the E-Type brought competition technology to the road while remaining accessible as a luxury sports car.

The Series 1 models are among the most sought-after E-Types, known for their beautiful proportions, covered headlights, elegant interior, and legendary XK engine. The introduction of the 4.2-liter engine in 1964 brought improved torque, a smoother gearbox, and greater everyday usability while preserving the car’s sporting character.

Today, the E-Type is recognized worldwide as one of the greatest automotive designs ever produced and remains a true icon of British motoring history.
