JAGUAR E-TYPE 4.2 S1
CLASSIC 1960’S BRITISH SPORTS CAR

By the time the E-Type was unveiled in 1961, it had a 265bhp 3.8-litre engine and four-speed manual box. A claimed top speed of 150mph was a little optimistic for standard production versions, but with a list price of £2097 for the Roadster and £2196 for the Coupe, no-one seemed to care – it was half the price of its more exotic rivals.

Launched in 1961 at the Geneva Auto Salon, the E-Type won the show hitting every headline in the world press. Even Enzo Ferrari described the Jaguar as the most beautiful car in the world. The Jaguar E-Type had a 265bhp 3.8-litre engine and four-speed manual ‘box with a claimed top speed of 150mph.

Our E-Type model is the larger 4.2-litre XK engine in model launched in 1964. Although it still offered 265bhp, the 4.2 came with more torque with the manual gearbox gaining synchromesh on all ratios. It’s ideal for weddings and proms with its drop-top roof making photography much easier to undertake.
