Launched at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show. the Jaguar E-Type was
nothing short of a revelation. With its heady blend of supercar
performance. breathtaking styling and low price tag. the newcomer
left its rivals reeling and customers clamouring. Built as a
monocoque with a front sub-frame to cradle the engine. the cars
combination of all-round independent suspension (torsion-bar
front/coil-sprung rear) rack and pinion steering together with
four-wheel disc brakes gave it excellent road holding and handling
capabilities. The Series II Jaguar E-Type is identified by open
headlights without glass covers. a wrap-around rear bumper. br/>re-positioned larger front indicators. tail lights below the
bumpers. better cooling aided by an enlarged 'mouth' with twin
electric fans. and uprated brakes. The engine is easily identified
visually by the change from smooth polished cam covers to a more
industrial 'ribbed' appearance. The interior and dashboard were
also redesigned. with rocker switches being substituted for toggle
switches. The dashboard switches also lost their symmetrical
layout. New seats were fitted. which purists claim lacked the style
of the originals but were certainly more
comfortable.

Having just been the subject of a substantial restoration
program. this lefthand drive Series II E-Type is described as be in
lovely condition and is described by the vendor as being a delight
to drive. Finished in red with black interior and sitting proudly
on wire wheels. this handsome Jaguar has had much care and
attention lavished on it. Jaguar E-Types have increased in value
dramatically of late. this example offers the buyer investment
potential as well as having a stunning looking vehicle to enjoy.
