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
'ribbed' appearance. The interior and dashboard were also
redesigned. with toggle switches being substituted for rocker
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.

The current dedicated owners have looked after ZV 1642 since
2005 and have enjoyed her immensely with many excursions to local
shows in the Galway area. Over £20. 00 was spent some years ago
with Classic Marques in Northern Ireland on a re-spray and the
interior trim has also been up-graded. The steering wheel is a
modern Moto-Lita unit and the overall condition is described by the
vendors as between eight to ten out of ten in all areas. Enclosed
within the history file are receipts for panels replaced and
paintwork as well as registration documents.
