Four jaw-dropping E-Type Jaguars
23 March 2021 When the Jaguar E-Type was launched in 1961 it turned heads with its looks.Happy 60th birthday to this E-Type Jaguar made in 1961.
Even Enzo Ferrari proclaimed it ‘The most beautiful car in the world’. It fitted in well with the stylish 60s and became the car of choice for the international jet-set, super models and rock stars alike.
This year it celebrates its 60th birthday and four great-looking E-Types from the 1960s and 70s are coming up for sale at Silverstone Auctions on March 27-28.
Let's take a look...
The 1970 E-Type
This Series 2 Roadster from 1970 still has its original engine and gearbox, and finished in its original colour combination of Old English White with red leather upholstery and a black hood. Just two owners have had the joy of driving this car. Will you be the next?
The 1968 E-Type
This Series 2 E-Type from 1968 returned to the UK from the US and has been converted to a right hand drive with a five speed gearbox (the original gearbox which is fully functioning is available from the vendor should any potential buyer wish to revert back to 4-speed).
The 1965 E-Type
This E-Type Jaguar 4.2 Series 1 Roadster was once the property of famous TV and film actor Nigel Havers.
The 1961 E-Type
This 3.8 Fixed Head Coupe is finished in the classic colour combination of gunmetal grey with a red leather interior.
Manufactured in November 1961 and first registered on January 1 1962, it is one of the first 175 Coupes built before recessed footwells were adopted and one of just 1,559 right-hand drive, 3.8 Coupes constructed in total, making it a rather rare car.
