THE JAGUAR E-TYPE

Introduced in its 3.8-liter form in 1961, the Jaguar E-Type caused a sensation when it appeared, with instantly classic lines and a 150mph top speed. The first significant upgrade occurred in October of 1964 with the launch of the 4.2-liter displacement engine. Along with the bigger, torquier engine came a more user-friendly gearbox with synchromesh on first gear, and a superior Lockheed brake servo.

The Series 1 ½ and 2 E-Types, incorporating safety upgrades previously fitted only in America, were released worldwide in 1968. In addition to revised lighting and switchgear, the front air intake was larger and sat behind a full-width bumper. Power steering and air conditioning became available as options.

THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

This striking E-Type is a fine example of the more practical 2+2 version. Built on the 14th of November 1967, the left-hand drive 2+2 Coupe was sent stateside for delivery by its first owner, an entity by the name of 'Lakewood Homes, Inc.' Specified with an Opalescent Maroon exterior color over a black leather interior, this E-type was equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission- just as it appears today. This lovely E-type is reported to drive very well, and presents beautifully throughout, with glossy Opalescent Maroon paint, fine brightwork, and a smart black leather interior. Plenty of restoration work was performed on the car in 2018 including a full bare-metal repaint and fitment of five new tires on new Dayton chrome wire wheels. Accompanied by the sale of the car are many restoration photos and receipts totaling tens of thousands of dollars, a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, tools, jack, and the car's old air conditioning system in boxes, should a future owner wish to install it. This fine Jaguar retains its matching numbers engine and transmission and would be a great driver for rallies such as the Copperstate 1000 or to use for a Sunday picnic with the family.
