The classic Jaguar E-Type needs no introduction. Wickedly fast, sleek, seductively beautiful in design and engineering: it is widely acknowledged as the standard by which other sports cars are judged. They credit their ancestry to the convergence of Jaguar's successful 1950's D-Type racing programs, and then the wonderful XK120, XK140, and XK150's models. When one wants to refer to the racing heritage of the car, it is an E-Type; or when relating it to the famous XK's, it is an XKE. The terms are interchangeable, and both are proper.

The E-Type evolved through three generations during the course of it's production from 1961 to 1975. Termed the Series I, II, and III, each variation had it's own strengths, and weaknesses. The E-Type is a beast, and keeping one will test your patience. However, the rewards are tremendous to include consistent "thumbs-up" gestures. Like most beautiful things, they require attention, investment, and TLC. E-Types are now considered to be a unique art form, and one sits on permanent display in the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

These distinctive cars represent not only the power to go, but also a unique tube-type frame, independent rear suspension, distinctive transmission, and inboard braking system, all of which provides excellent handling. It can run at 150 MPH, control the curves, and then power out into the straight sections of road with a characteristic, and splendid roar.


This car is a Series I, which was produced between 1961, and 1967. The Series I is acknowledged as being the simplest, purest, and most desirable of the three designs. It is immediately identified by it's glass covered headlights, small front air intake cowling, triple windshield wipers, and slim marker lights, and bumpers. It has a 4.2 liter engine which holds 12 quarts of 50 weight oil, and produces in the range of 265 British, or 300 American brake horsepower. This car is, in comparison to the E-Type Roadsters, and Coupes, an uncommon long wheel based 2+2 model, which as a larger car, made it a Grand Touring model. This particular car was likely imported into Canada, and was located, and painstaking restored after it had sat in a garage for 22-years. It is a rare, beautiful, roadworthy, driver and keeper !!

In 1970, and with the introduction of the National Highway Safety Act, and emission requirements, things changed: and not for E-type improvement. The resulting Series II, and III's have larger motors, air intakes, larger repositioned marker lights, and bumpers. However, they are acknowledged to lack the traditional fluid grace of the Series I cars. None-the-less, to each their own, and they also more than adequately represent the most beautiful sports car ever built.
