quality, and the level of craftsmanship evident in the bodywork is
impressive. The panels are extremely straight and operate exactly
as they should, including the bonnet, a difficult and unusual feat
for an E-Type. The chrome is excellent as well, and the wire wheels
are stunning. The glass and lamps are in superb shape as well. The
engine compartment has been stunningly detailed, and is extremely
clean. It is in show condition throughout, and very correct in
terms of finishes and appearance. This Jag roadster is ready for
spirited use, or a casual Sunday drive.All E-Types featured
independent coil spring rear suspension with torsion bar front
ends, and four-wheel disc brakes, in-board at the rear, all were
power-assisted. Jaguar was one of the first vehicle manufacturers
to equip cars with disc brakes as standard from the XK150 in 1958.
The Series 1 can be recognized by glass-covered headlights (up to
1967), small "mouth" opening at the front, signal lights and
tail-lights above bumpers and exhaust tips under the number plate
in the rear.Legend has it that when it went on display for the
first time at the Geneva Motor Show in 1961, none other than Enzo
Ferrari remarked that the E-type (known as the "XKE" in the U.S.)
was the most beautiful car he'd ever seen. Mr. Ferrari knew a
pretty car when he saw one and he might have been one of the first
to express the sentiment, but an incalculable number of others have
said virtually the same thing and they're still saying it fifty
years later. Designed by a noted aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer, the
E-type was meant to cheat the wind, but its glass covered
headlights, long hood, short rear deck and compound curves also
coincidentally looked great. With a 0-60 time of around seven
seconds and a 150 mph top speed, the Series I E-type was near the
top of the early 1960s food chain. A 2+2 coupe was added to the
coupe and convertible body styles in 1966. The 2+2 was the first
E-type to be available with an automatic transmission.This
sensational Jaguar has undergone an intensive pre-sale inspection
by renowned expert 'Jag John' at the Park Place Service Center. For
