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. Allied to a four-speed Moss gearbox. it
reputedly enabled the E-type to sprint from 0-60mph in 6. 9 seconds
and onto 150mph aesthetically beautiful yet viciously quick. the
E-type remains for many the ultimate production Jaguar.

This E-Type has recently been repatriated to the UK and given a
clean bill of health by a specialist mechanic and as such has just
passed an MoT. The white coachwork is in good order although not
perfect however. the leatherette interior is virtually unmarked. We
are advised she drives with no known faults and the engine runs
with good oil pressure. the automatic transmission operated
correctly on our short test drive. This lefthand drive Jaguar is a
matching numbers example and is a perfectly useable Jaguar. with
E-Type prices increasing significantly of late. KOP156E could prove
to be a sound investment. Supplied with a V5 registration
document.
