Vehicle Description
When the Jaguar E-Type was introduced to the world in the early 1960s, Enzo Ferrari described its design as the 'most beautiful car ever made.' Its combination of exquisite styling and high performance made the E-Type Jaguar Series 1 one of the most collectable automobiles of all time. With just over 29,600 original miles, this Jaguar E-Type fixed head coupe is a must-have for any serious enthusiast or collector. In 1966, a young merchant seaman and Maine Maritime Academy alumnus purchased this Jaguar after saving his money while on board ship. As indicated by the odometer, this vehicle has been well cared for and driven just over 29,600 miles since new. Only taken out during the summer months and when conditions were perfect, this Jaguar was a bit of a local secret, and many people in the small coastal community never knew he had the car. A Jaguar Heritage Certificate accompanies this vehicle and documents its numbers-matching condition and the production date of October 18th, 1965. The original and period correct 8-track tape deck was added by the owner, who loved to cruise in style while listening to 'Burning Love' by Elvis. Powered by the famous 4.2 litre, six cylinder engine with triple SU carburetors, this Jaguar drives and handles like a virtually new Jaguar should. Repainted in the 1970s based solely on the owner's preference, a one-owner, numbers matching, original low miles E-Type Jaguar like this is nearly impossible to find. Sold with a current registration and title. Car # 1E 3201 5, Body # 4E 23023, Engine # 7E 6264-9, Gear Box # EJ 4757
