The E-Type was unveiled in March of 1961 at the Geneva Motor Show, following the famous 11th hour disorder (one of the cars was driven to the show from England with just hours to spare). The car was an immediate sensation: its specification was state of the art, its bodywork arrestingly gorgeous, and the price surprisingly affordable. It embodied William Lyons values beautifully and it is no surprise that the E-Type has become such a legendary part of automotive history. The specification clearly demonstrated Jaguars racing experience and included independent suspension all around (at a time when Ferrari was still using live rear axles), disc brakes all around (inboard at the rear to reduce unsprung weight), and of course Jaguars legendary twin cam inline-6. The cars were continuously developed, however, the arrival of the twelve cylinder engine changed the cars character irreversibly. The Series II cars featured a host of changes to modernize the car, including larger lights and many changes introduced on the Series 1.5 cars including Stromberg carburetors and safer interiors. While lacking the purity of the early cars, they provide substantially the same experience and are dramatically less expensive, generally about half the price of a comparable Series I.
This particular XKE it has been maintained with no expense spared by its current owner with most services occurring at British Motor Specialist . The car has received careful service. The thoroughness of the care is evident,
The cars striking paintwork remain in good condition and show well. The paintwork is generally free of scratches. The car was repainted in a portion of the nose, other than that car still in original paint. The paint presents strongly overall with a few small blemishes and the occasional chip. Overall, the chrome on the car is good. Glass in the car is good overall and appears to be original. The overall cosmetic impression of the car is strong and these small blemishes are only evident upon close inspection.
