Overview

Few automobiles have left such a profound impact on the history of motoring as the Jaguar E-Type. Unveiled in 1961, it immediately redefined what a sports car could be, combining beauty, engineering excellence and performance in a way that stunned both the press and the public. Enzo Ferrari himself famously described it as the most beautiful car ever made, a statement that still resonates more than sixty years later.

This particular example, chassis 1E34541, was delivered new to New York in 1967. It represents the last and most refined evolution of the early Series 1, fitted with Jaguar’s legendary 4.2-litre inline-six engine. With 265 horsepower and abundant torque, it offers both the smoothness of a grand tourer and the excitement of a true sports car. The four-speed fully synchronised gearbox and the independent rear suspension make it a joy to drive, even by today’s standards.

Visually, the car captures the essence of the E-Type with its long sculpted bonnet, flowing proportions and the covered glass headlamps that are hallmarks of the Series 1. Originally finished in British Racing Green with a beige interior, it now wears an elegant Carmen Red exterior matched with a refined black leather cabin. The result is a timeless blend of British sporting character and sophistication.

Maintained with care, this E-Type is mechanically sound and ready to be enjoyed. It is not only a work of art on wheels but also a passport to some of the most prestigious historic motoring events. For collectors and enthusiasts alike, owning this Jaguar is an invitation to experience one of the purest expressions of 1960s sports car culture, a car that continues to inspire admiration wherever it goes.
