1968 JAGUAR E-TYPE 2+2
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 claimed 150 mph (241 km/h)
top speed, sub-7-second 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) acceleration, unitary
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 designed by William Heynes, 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 1315 kg (2900 lb).
On its release on 15 March 1961 Enzo Ferrari called it "the most
beautiful car ever made". In 2004, Sports Car International
magazine placed the E-Type at number one on their list of Top
Sports Cars of the 1960s. In March 2008, the Jaguar E-Type ranked
first in The Daily Telegraph online list of the world's "100 most
beautiful cars" of all time. Outside automotive circles, the E-type
received prominent placement in Diabolik comic series, Austin
Powers films and the television series Mad Men.
Series 1 (1961-68)
The Series 1 was introduced, initially for export only, in March
1961. The domestic market launch came four months later in July
1961. The cars at this time used the triple SU carburetted
3.8-litre six-cylinder Jaguar XK6 engine from the XK150S. Earlier
built cars utilised external bonnet latches which required a tool
to open and had a flat floor design. These cars are rare and more
valuable. After that, the floors were dished to provide more leg
room and the twin bonnet latches moved to inside the car. The
3.8-litre engine was increased to 4.2 litres (4,235 cc) in October
1964.
A 2+2 version of the fastback coupe was added in 1966. The 2+2
offered the option of an automatic transmission. The body is 9 in
(229 mm) longer and the roof angles are different. The roadster and
the non 2+2 FHC (Fixed Head Coupe) remained as two-seaters.
