Description
The 1966 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 is regarded as one of the most legendary sports cars of all time, admired for its timeless design, pure performance and sporting elegance. This example, in black and with matching numbers, offers enthusiasts the opportunity to acquire a 60s icon that still requires partial restoration.
This version is the most sought-after of the E-Types: it combines the elegant early-series body with the characteristic covered headlights, while offering a roomier cabin. The seats, less enveloping than those of the 3. 8-litre version, also allow taller and sturdier drivers to sit comfortably. Under the bonnet sits the best version of the XK engine: the 4. 2 litres, renowned for its low-end torque, reliability and enchanting note. Equipped with three SU carburettors, it blends smoothness and sportiness – a engine that Jaguar would use into the 1990s across several models.
