Vehicle Description
Black 1962 E-Type Jaguar Series 1 with red leather interior with
soft top and rare black hardtop. An extensive concours restoration
commissioned by the 37 year owner of this incredible work art on
four wheels.
The comprehensive rotisserie restoration was commenced by JC
Classics Inc of Burlington, WI
and completed by the meticulous well known Ringbrothers of Spring
Green Wisconsin in 2017 and had only 5 miles on the odometer since.

beautiful car in the world", and this stunning black Jaguar with
red leather hides validates that conclusion. According to the

interior and the last year for the flat floor pans. It retains the

Wikipedia Information"The Jaguar E-Type, or the Jaguar XK-E for the
North American market, is a British sports car that was
manufactured by Jaguar Cars Ltd between 1961 and 1975. Its
combination of beauty, high performance, and competitive pricing
established the model as an icon of the motoring world. The
E-Type's 150
mph (241
km/h) top speed, sub-7-second 0 to 60 mph (97
km/h) acceleration, monocoque construction, disc brakes,
rack-and-pinion steering, and independent front and rear suspension
distinguished the car and spurred industry-wide changes. The E-Type
was based on Jaguar's D-Type racing car, which had won the 24 Hours
of Le Mans three consecutive years beginning 1955, and employed
what was, for the early 1960s, a novel racing design principle,
with a front subframe carrying the engine, front suspension and
front bodywork bolted directly to the body tub. No ladder frame
chassis, as was common at the time, was needed and as such the
first cars weighed only 1315kg (2900lb).The E-Type was initially
designed and shown to the public as a rear-wheel drive grand tourer
in two-seater coup form (FHC or Fixed Head Coup) and as a
two-seater convertible "roadster" (OTS or Open Two Seater). A "2+2"
four-seater version of the coup, with a lengthened wheelbase, was
released several years later.Later model updates of the E-Type were
officially designated "Series 2" and "Series 3", and over time the
earlier cars have come to be referred to as "Series 1." As with
other partly hand made cars of the time, changes were incremental
and ongoing, which has led to confusion over exactly what a Series
1 car is. This is of more than academic interest, as Series 1
E-Types and particularly Series 1 roadsters often have values far
in excess of Series 2 and 3 models."American Dream Machines
