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 rivals reeling and customers clamouring. Early sportscar
racing success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori
amongst others helped cement its reputation. Built as a monocoque
with a front sub-frame to cradle the engine. the model's
combination of all-round independent suspension rack and pinion
steering and four-wheel disc brakes gave it excellent road holding
and handling capabilities. Fed by triple SU HD8 carburettors and
topped with a 'straight port' DOHC cylinder head. its indomitable
3781cc straight-six engine was quoted as developing some 265bhp and
260lbft of torque. Achingly beautiful yet viciously quick. the
E-type remains for many the ultimate production Jaguar.

Considered by many to be the purest of all E-Types. this
original righthand drive coupé sports has the highly desirable 3. 8
litre engine mated to its original four speed manual Moss gearbox.
Supplied originally by Broadfield Garages in Cockfosters via
Henlys. as confirmed by the Jaguar Heritage certificate. the
current vendor has been the proud owner of LFF902 for the last 14
years. Recently. this charming E-type has benefitted from the
fitment of electronic ignition. stainless steel exhaust and a
digital fuel pump. The carburettors have also been overhauled and
tuned. The interior was re-trimmed some 15 years prior and is
complemented by the aluminium dashboard and transmission tunnel.
Finished in blue with grey leather trim. this delightful 3. 8 litre
coupé is supplied with a V5 registration document. current MoT test
certificate and a history file. Driving a Jaguar E-Type is a
seminal experience enhanced by an extraordinary view of the road
ahead over the bonnet.
