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. while early sports
car racing success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori. br/>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. Achingly beautiful yet viciously quick. the E-type
remains. for many. the ultimate production Jaguar.

Delivered new to Mr. B. Aderman of Washington D. C. . USA on the
13th January 1964. this lefthand drive Jaguar E-Type roadster was
refurbished to the very highest of standards in the mid 1990's and
has had very little use since. During the restoration. the engine
was rebuilt with an up-rated radiator and electric fan. the
bodywork was stripped and great attention was given to making sure
that the door. bonnet and boot lid gaps were perfect before being
repainted in opalescent silver blue. Imported to the UK in 2012. br/>the vendor set about up-rating the car by fitting a new Guy Broad
'Broadsport' five-speed gearbox. Coopercraft brakes. new wheels and
tyres and a new hood cover. This beautiful E-Type. with its
unblemished paint and excellent chrome has a restored interior in
dark blue with the slightly later. more comfortable seats. It
comes supplied with a V5C registration document. an MoT test
certificate which expires on the 1st April 2014. the US title
document and a file of the invoices for the work carried out in the
UK. Enzo Ferrari was quite right when he declared the E-Type
Jaguar to be the most beautiful motorcar of all time. This
long-legged. stylish and comfortable icon is an ideal investment
and equally admired both sides of the Atlantic.
