Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5 2+2

In March 1961, the automotive world was surprised with a benchmark. When the Jaguar E-type was introduced, even the competitors were impressed. Another legend in the automotive world, Enzo Ferrari, spoke of the E-type; “The most beautiful car ever made”. He is right to this day..

This type 1.5 2+2 is in very good condition and is one of the last before type II was introduced. Also a beautiful car, but not as iconic as the first type.

The yellow paintwork has been reapplied once in the past. The same applies to the leather interior upholstery. Other elements, including the characteristic 3-spoke wooden steering wheel, exude just enough patina to give you the feeling of having stepped into something historical (beautiful). Because that's what it is!

This Jaguar E-type series 1.5 2+2 started turning heads in America. The first owner owned the car until 2000, after which this beautiful E-type was brought to the Netherlands by the current owner. The second owner has taken the car in hand in recent years. Technically, the car has been completely renewed and has been restored with great care. The car is provided with many photo reports, documentation and original invoices. Apart from the condition of the car, only 637 units of the type 1.5 2+2 were made. Rarer than its successor, which had a total of 5598 units.

From 1967 to 1968, an intermediate series with the unofficial name 1 1/2 was built as a transitional phase. These models were very similar to the Series 1 but towards the end they no longer had the glass-covered headlights and other control levers. Gradually, equipment from the upcoming Series 2 was added while the bodywork always remained that of the Series 1. At Jaguar itself, these 1 1/2s were simply considered Series 1.

We could talk for hours about the insanely beautiful design of the E-Type. Let's do that while enjoying a cup of coffee. In this story we want to emphasize the beautiful condition of the bodywork and cockpit; equipped with matching numbers!
