The Jaguar Type E, also known as the Jaguar E-Type, is an iconic sports car produced by the British manufacturer Jaguar Cars Ltd between 1961 and 1975. Upon its launch, it was acclaimed for its exceptional aesthetics and innovative performance, embodying the essence of British design and technology of the time. Featuring an elegant and aerodynamic body designed by Malcolm Sayer, an aeronautical engineer, the Type E boasted revolutionary features such as a steel monocoque for the main body, with a subframe supporting the engine, independent rear suspension, and four-wheel disc brakes, a novelty for production cars at the time.
The vehicle has undergone a complete aesthetic and mechanical restoration and is currently in the break-in period. It comes with a comprehensive history, important documentation, parts invoices, and photos of the work carried out. Viewing is available by appointment. Improvements made for safety and road comfort include: Upgraded "Series 3" brakes Two assists, one at the front and one at the rear Electronic ignition Electric fan Engine oil radiator with screw-in cartridge Completely rebuilt electrical wiring harness Stainless steel exhaust system Reliable Jaguar gearbox Pancake air filter Addition of an oil breather Passenger footrest
