The story behind this collectible...
"The Most Beautiful Car Ever Made" - Enzo Ferrari
If you do it then. Then do it really well with a Cool Classic of Cool Classics: the Jaguar E-type Series 1 3.8 FHC.
The long nose, thickly set hips and sensual lines come into their own with Gunmetal Grey and a red leather interior. She is like a neat lady sneaking eye contact at the Christmas table while you are in a serious conversation with your father-in-law. Elegant, but definitely the right touch of mischief.
The E-type Series I was introduced in Europe on March 15, 1961 at the Geneva Motor Show and in the United States in April the same year at the New York Motor Show. When the car was first shown, Enzo Ferrari, called it "The most beautiful car ever made. To this day, he is right!
The Series 1 received a 3.8-liter 6-in-line engine under the hood that came from the XK150S, a renowned and already proven block. All E-types received independent suspension and power-assisted disc brakes on all four wheels, two unusual features for the time. The 3.8L versions had leather-trimmed bucket seats and a centrally located brushed aluminum instrument panel.
Take a seat in the red leather cockpit, look out over the bullet-shaped hood and grab the sporty gearshift. Only then, do you understand why we too, have this one on our personal favorite list.
This Jaguar has been meticulously restored to perfection in the Netherlands with careful and appropriate upgrades. A Getrag 5-speed transmission, electric 1-2-3 ignition, easy powersteering and the diamond foundation in the sky complete the party. Owned and owned by enthusiast at heart and now for sale with us. Will we see you soon?
