Jaguar E-type 1971
General description :
Jaguar is responsible for some of the most memorable cars ever produced. From the 1968 E-type to the current F-type, the company continues to define British motoring for enthusiasts across the globe. It's no coincidence that the brand's designs tend to age gracefully, and 'graceful' is certainly one word that describes this incredible, V12-powered 2+2. But, since the car earned 97 out of 100 points at an official Jaguar North America-sanctioned Concours event in 2017, you could also use 'accomplished'. And, since it earned 99 out of 100 points at an official Jaguar North America-sanctioned Concours event in 2018, you could maybe even stretch that into 'exquisite'. That said, the BEST way to describe the car would probably be 'mine'.
Few automotive brands can match Jaguar when it comes to consistency in design. From the E-type forward, long wheelbase platforms with elongated noses and short rear overhangs became the company's signature look. This coupe stays true to that formula, with sleek bodylines that, in addition to being heavily restored in 2003, we're carefully freshened in 2017. As you would expect, all the car's panels are remarkably straight and free of any notable flaws. And naturally, bright chrome reflects well-maintained stainless.
Hoist the forward-tilting hood and you'll find 5.3 liters of Jaguar V12 that was professionally pulled and fully detailed in 2017. Behind that twelve, a factory 4-speed, retrofitted in 2017, transfers torque to a highway-friendly rear end that was fully overhauled in 2018. That drivetrain rides a unique independent suspension, its front-half serviced in 2018 and its rear-half serviced in 2019. Given this is an exclusive luxury car, amenities such as power disc brakes have always been standard equipment. Exhaust travels through stock manifolds to an H-shaped crossover, polished stainless mufflers and polished, quad-outlet tips. That hardware frames solid floors that were replaced in 2003. And at the corners of those floors, chromed wire knock-offs, professionally trued, cleaned and balanced in 2017, twist correctly sized 205/70R15 Michelin Defender whitewalls.
Behind this Jag's sturdy doors, a luxurious interior, reupholstered in 2002, has been remarkably preserved. Tall bucket seats are wrapped in fine leather covering that provides welcoming comfort. Between those seats, a French-stitched console positions a polished gear selector behind a proper British Leyland AM/FM radio, which bumps beats to modern speakers. Above that console, a factory-spec dash balances an array of Smiths gauges around factory air conditioning. And the driver spins a speed-drilled steering wheel.
This vintage E-Type is a clean, reliable classic that features an unmatched combination of first-class style and Old World craftsmanship. In the market for authentic luxury motoring that's excellent in virtually every way? This dignified Jag is your kind of car!
