Jaguar E-Type Coupe from the first series with 3.8 liter engine in the unique color combination Primrose Yellow with a black leather interior.

The Jaguar E-Type Series I is known for its closed headlights, bucket seats, aluminum parts in the interior, classic switches in the dashboard and lights above bumpers. This car is also equipped with chrome wire wheels with wing nuts.
In 1961, the Jaguar E-Type saw the light of life as the successor to the famous XK 120, 140 and 150 series. The E-Type was introduced at The Salon car show in Geneva on 15 March, and it was a smashing success of its sublime design and the technical concept. Salient point in this introduction in Geneva was that the E-Type ‘show car’ was ready for presentation just in time.
The E-Type was also a jewel for its engineering: its bodywork was a steel ’monocoque’ with a sub-frame attached in front of the cover in which the engine and the wheel-suspension were housed. In the back, under the ’monocoque’, there was a second sub-frame to which the differential gear and the rear suspension were attached. The E-Type was equipped with independent wheel-suspension and disc brakes all round. The disc brakes in the back were placed against the differential to limit unsprung weight.
The Jaguar E-Type series I was supplied as a roadster and as a FHC (Fixed Head Coupe). In principle, it was produced with the well-known XK 3.8-litre engine producing 245 HP.
