Description
Finished in the delicate yet striking hue of Opalescent Silver
Blue, this Jaguar E-Type Series I captures the essence
of 1960s British motoring elegance and innovation.
Its design - long bonnet, faired-in headlamps, and tapering
tail - was the work of aerodynamicist Malcolm
Sayer, and remains a benchmark in automotive beauty.
The shimmering metallic finish highlights the car’s fluid
lines, adding a subtle modernity to its classic form.
Beneath the bonnet lies a 3.8-litre inline-six engine fed
by triple SU carburetors, delivering smooth, eager power
and a soundtrack that ranges from refined to raw with a
press of the throttle. Coupled with a four-speed manual
gearbox, it offers a driving experience that was revolutionary
in its time - and still engaging today.
Disc brakes all around and monocoque construction
brought cutting-edge performance to the road, making
the E-Type as capable as it was captivating.
This particular example, stands as a pure expression of
Jaguar’s ambition to bring racing pedigree and elegance
to the open road.
