Drives like a dream. Mechanically sound. Manual transmission. Fast and strong. Numbers matching. Original California car. Gears shift seamlessly. This ultimate Driver’s Car starts right up. Hear this massive straight six engine roar to life with a pleasant exhaust note. Only the second road car honored with the distinction of being in the Museum of Modern Art’s permanent design collection in New York, the Jaguar E-Type is, quite possibly, as Enzo Ferrari famously put it, the “the most beautiful car in the world.” In fact, so much so that Series I E-Type owners include Frank Sinatra, George Harrison, Peter Sellers, and Elton John. Original 2+2 coupe equipped with covered headlights, 4.2L inline six, SU triple carburetors, dual exhaust outlets, front-wheel disc brakes, Smiths instruments, Lucas-branded ammeter gauge toggle switches, fender-mounted antenna, triple windshield wipers, three-spoke steering wheel, bonnet louvers, chrome trim/numbers, Vredestein tires, wire wheel with Jaguar-branded two-eared knock-off wheel spinners, and a full-size spare tire fitted in the trunk. Amenities include: manual-crank windows, forward-folding front seats, lap belts, pop-out quarter windows, dual-side mirrors, armrest center console, passenger dash grab handle, cigar lighter with an ashtray, AM/FM radio, and a glove compartment. Nearly $20K of work put in at a Jaguar-only service facility over the past two years alone (majority of which covered engine drivetrain, functionality, and drivability). Vehicle is insured and stored in professional, climate-controlled, and secured facility. All reasonable offers welcome; however, there will be a request for best and final offer.
