First introduced at the New York Motor Show in 1961. The Jaguar E Type stunned the world and became the car that defined the "swinging sixties". Aerodynamically designed by Malcolm Sayer with many features developed during the 1950's when Jaguar dominated racing at Lemans and many other famous circuits around the world.
At a time when the average car was considered fast if it could reach 100 mph, Autocar magazine road tested the new E Type and reached a staggering 150 mph. The first cars had a 3.8 litre engine, independent suspension front and rear, disc brakes on all four wheels and rack and pinion steering. This all added up to a car that rode, handled and stopped very well.

In 1965 Jaguar updated the E Type to 4.2 litres. With this came a number of other improvements including the all synchro gearbox, better clutch, pre-engage starter motor, better brakes, better seats and more torque. However the car retained is early pure styling with glassed over headlights.

This 'left hand drive' two seater fixed head coupe has been very well maintained. Originating from Cleveland Ohio in the USA. The body is solid with good panel fit. The Signal red paint has a good finish with only a few imperfections.

The interior trim has a nice patina to the leather and retains its original wood rimmed steering wheel. Optional chrome wire wheels give the car some extra sparkle. mechanically the car is first rate, drives really well with plenty of power.

This car would make a great daily driver as it is in such usable condition and at such a reasonable price.

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
