The Appeal
Everyone’s entitled to their favourite E-Type, but you have to concede that a Series 1 Fixed-Head Coupé is the prettiest of them all. Just imagine the impact this car made when it was unveiled at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show. Some still claim it to be the best-looking car of all time - and it’s hard to argue otherwise. But it wasn’t all about aesthetics; the E-Type came equipped with the superb dual-overhead-cam XK straight-six, an engine that was enlarged during Series I production in order to offer greater torque in higher gears.
Here we have one of those coveted 4.2-litre Series I E-Types. This 1967 Fixed-Head Coupé is eminently worthy of restoration. It’s a very desirable car in any condition, and this one’s reportedly in solid order having already undergone some work to certain areas. The front subframe for example appears to have undergone some refurbishment, while the svelte coupé bodywork has been protected with a coat of grey primer.
It’s time for a new custodian to return this big cat to the road.
