"The Most Beautiful Car Ever Made"
- Enzo Ferrari
When you do it, do it really well with the Cool Classic of Cool Classics: the Jaguar E-type 3.8 FHC.The long nose, thick-set hips and sensual lines come into their own with Silver/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 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 instrument panel of brushed aluminum.
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.
