Jaguar Type E Série 1 cabriolet 4,2 litres
French title Chassis # 879080 - Version Series 1, very desirable - In very good condition - Hard-top, ideal for winter Great lines, brilliant engine, a very efficient car, and we cannot but finish this sentence by saying that the Jaguar E-Type is one of the most significant cars of the 20th century. Unveiled in 1962 with the famous DOHC six-cylinder 3.8-litres, the E-Type received a 4.2-ltres engine two years later, providing for additional torque that gave the car undeniable driving pleasure. The Series 1 was the purest of all the E-Types, before cosmetic changes imposed by U.S. safety regulations messed up the lines of the car. The convertible E Type 4.2 litre that we offer was purchased in 2009 by current owner, a professional who specializes in cars of this category in the region of Bordeaux. The meter then showed 34,707 miles, or 55,854km. The car came from California, where it must have seen cast happy days in a very suitable climate, before receiving a complete restoration that has given the car mechanical reliability. Its owner says that its recent consumption of oil did not exceed even one liter per 2,500km, of which at least 1,500km was on mountain roads. For four years, the car received detailed improvements such as the replacement of the rubber seals (for the headlights, the doors, the bumper) and boot struts. Bills are there to attest to all this. The car has its kit tools, spare wheel with chrome spokes and the counter currently displays 36,315 miles or 58,442km. In a very elegant light blue hue, the car is equipped with navy blue upholstery complemented by a dark blue hood. This combination of colours suits the car wonderfully. It is also equipped with a removable hard-top in ivory shade, perfect for the winter months. In beautiful condition this very desirable Series 1, with its elegant head lights in Perspex, will provide its new owner the joy of open-top driving with the power and sound of one of the finest post-war English automobiles.
