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 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. 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.

This Series II E-Type was originally exported to California in
1970 and was repatriated to the UK in 1989 when she commenced a
substantial restoration. At the same time she was converted from
left to righthand drive. The vendor is a keen car enthusiast and
has owned ALG 127J since 1991 and has enjoyed driving this splendid
example on the open roads of the Highlands. Finished in red with
biscuit interior and supplied with a V5 registration document
together with a current MoT test certificate and a history file. br/>this Jaguar 4. 2 E-Type is a delightful example and ready to enjoy
the long balmy summer days that lay ahead.
