General History
Unveiled at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-type delivered a totally new approach to sports cars. Stunning design, unrivaled performance, and racing lineage made the E-Type an immediate sensation. With its beautiful lines and surprisingly affordable price, the E-Type garnered its iconic status where it continues to reign at the top of collector and enthusiast lists. Independent front and rear suspension, disc brakes all around (inboard at the rear to reduce unsprung weight), and Jaguar’s legendary twin-cam inline six-cylinder engine were just part of the allure. Sales were brisk with growing interest in both American and European markets. Although the E-Type would continue into the mid 1970s, enthusiasts today remain steadfast regarding their admiration for the Series 1 models as one of the most beautiful and capable sports cars ever conceived.
Current Condition and Ownership
In the 1980s, this car was offered at the Barrett-Jackson Auction, AZ. Viewing cars that day with Bruce Trenery, proprietor of Fantasy Junction, Emeryville, CA, Bob Cole (Cole European Motors) inspected the car together, but the car remained unsold at the auction. Eventually, Cole approached the son-in-law of the original owner and privately purchased the car. After modest use, Cole sold the car to renowned Ferrari collector Brandon Wang, a fan of originality and preservation. In 2003, Wang arranged for a trade and partial payment on a Ferrari with Bruce Trenery. Recalling his former ownership, Trenery notified Cole who purchased the car for a second time. In 2005, Cole embarked on a series of professional performance modifications to prepare the car to a very capable road going standard while retaining as many of the original features and general character of the E-Type as possible.
Mechanical Restoration
Having been preserved and maintained through the early years of its life, this E-Type was showing approximately 27,000 miles when it was prepared by XKs Unlimited under commission from the consigning owner, who then spent upwards of $50k on the car to rebuild the engine to a high level of performance, in preparation for vintage driving events. The shop prepared the engine with extensive performance components including Venolia pistons, Carrillo rods, performance cams, alloy flywheel, performance damper, a big valve conversion, an alloy radiator, Weber intake manifold and carburetors, a new fuel rail, and an electronic distributor. Both the original head and original block were sent out for professional machine work to the surfaces and bottom end. During this time the front seats were removed, stripped of the old foam, and the frames refinished. New foam was installed, along with new red leather for the seats, while the remaining interior including the original carpets were retained, cleaned, and conditioned. Other work included the installation of a new windshield, a new retractable-type radio antenna, new inner workings for the clock, and the front suspension was rebuilt with new poly bushes, new ball joints, solid rack mounts, and heavy-duty front and rear sway bars.
Continuing with the updates to the mechanical systems a stainless-steel exhaust system was installed from the headers back and a set of Dunlop bolt-on hub alloy wheels were fitted. A 5-speed gearbox was fitted to the rebuilt engine and a new clutch, throwout bearing, and lightened flywheel were installed. Other improvements included GAZ rear shock absorbers and new coil overs, and four piston Wilwood front calipers with drilled and slotted discs.
Cosmetic presentation
Today the overall exterior is very satisfying with a very handsome mixture of original finishes and sensitively updated features. The finish shows typical areas of use including stone chips, slight paint discoloration to the blended paint areas, and minor stress cracks, notable only upon close inspection. The lighting, lenses, and glass appear very clean and preserved throughout. The body integrity is sound, with good panel gaps on the rear hatch, and bonnet, while the door fit appears quite good especially considering the originality of the body. The chrome window and side glass surrounds are in very good original condition overall, remarkably so being original to the car. The front and rear bumpers are very nice as are many of the rubber gaskets throughout the car. The Dunlop wheels feature chrome plated knock offs with excellent finish and add a sporting presence to the elegant design.
The red leather interior is original with the exception of the seats, which were professionally restored and recovered in 2005. The original carpet is in remarkably nice condition. The dash pad is in very fine shape indicating that this car must have enjoyed indoor storage throughout even early life as there is no evidence of sun damage. The instruments are beautifully preserved with excellent faces and contrasting color. The original door panels, matching covered door sills, headliner, and rear storage area are quite nice in both condition and material quality, again preserved and saved from the elements. Although the seats have been re-upholstered, the leather has matured just enough over the past fifteen years to now feel very much in keeping with honest and harmonious appearance of this E-Type.
The engine compartment is correct in appearance and properly detailed. The Weber carburetors are a nicely balanced feature of the engine without appearing out of character. Both the engine numbers are evident and matching as is the “picture frame” support section bearing the correct chassis number, both of which correspond correctly to the data plate affixed to the car. The undercarriage appears clean, tidy, and very much in keeping with the stated miles. The body seams, weld lines, and joinery are further indicative of original construction while modest updates appear properly performed without modification to the original integrity of the car.
Included with the car
The car is accompanied by an original owner’s pouch, operating manual, dealer listing manual and maintenance voucher book, an original jack, jacking bag, knock-off hammer, a complete set of tools and tool roll. Also included with the sale is a set of floor mats and two copies of the fold-up Jaguar E-Type Maintenance Chart.

om Jaguar
Åh, historien om Jaguar, från dess tidiga dagar som SS Cars Ltd. till sin höjdpunkt med D-typen och gatubilsevolutionen i form av den ikoniska E-typen. Det finns något alldeles brittiskt över denna berättelse, och jag ska berätta den som en brittisk journalist skulle göra.
I början:
Vår resa in i Jaguar-världen börjar på 1930-talet, när ett företag som kallades SS Cars Ltd. dök upp. Trots den olyckliga sammanträffandet av deras initialer med de stigande politiska spänningarna i Europa började de producera stilfulla och prestandainriktade bilar. SS 100, som introducerades 1936, var en symbol för elegans och hastighet och lade grunden för vad som skulle bli Jaguar.
Jaguars födelse:
När skuggan av andra världskriget närmade sig beslutade SS Cars Ltd. klokt att distansera sig från SS-initialerna. Så 1945 blev de officiellt Jaguar Cars Ltd., ett namn som snart skulle bli synonymt med brittisk lyx och prestanda.
XK-serien:
Jaguars efterkrigstid gav oss XK 120, en verklig sensation 1948. Med sin strömlinjeformade design och en kraftfull 3,4-liters raksexmoters blev den världens snabbaste seriebil. XK 120 var ritningen för det som komma skulle - Jaguar som förenade stil med hastighet på ett unikt brittiskt sätt.
D-typens dominans:
Sedan kom D-typen, en sann racinglegend. Introducerad 1954, vann den Le Mans tre gånger på 1950-talet och visade Jaguars tekniska skicklighet. Med sin innovativa monokokkonstruktion och den ikoniska fenan bak var D-typen höjdpunkten av Jaguars framgång inom motorsport.
E-typens framträdande:
Men den verkliga vändpunkten kom 1961 med introduktionen av E-typen, ofta beskriven av Enzo Ferrari som "den vackraste bilen som någonsin byggts". Dess långa motorhuv, böljande kaross och en 3,8-liters motor som levererade upphetsande prestanda gjorde den till en omedelbar klassiker. E-typen var inte bara en bil; den var ett konstverk på hjul och kunde nå 150 mph på vägen.
Gata och racingsuccé:
E-typens skönhet matchades av dess förmåga på racerbanan. De lätta E-typarna var särskilt framgångsrika i olika racingevenemang och cementerade Jaguars rykte som en kraft att räkna med inom motorsport.
Raffinemangets ålder:
När vi fördjupar oss i Jaguar-historien finner vi att 1950-talet och 1960-talet var en tid av raffinering och expansion. Tillsammans med den magnifika D-typen och den ikoniska E-typens framträdande introducerade Jaguar modeller som ytterligare befäste sitt rykte för lyx och prestanda.
MK2:
I slutet av 1950-talet presenterade Jaguar MK2, en sportig sedan som kombinerade elegans med kraft. Denna eleganta fyradörrars salong var en favorit bland bankrånare och polisen, tack vare dess exceptionella hastighet och hantering. MK2 var en symbol för Jaguars förmåga att förena sofistikering med prestanda och hade också en framgångsrik racingkarriär.
XJ6:
Hoppa fram till 1968 och Jaguar lanserade en bil som skulle definiera lyxbilar i decennier framöver - XJ6. Det var ett mästerverk i teknik och design med en jämn raksexmoters, oberoende bakre fjädring och en rymlig, vackert inredd interiör. XJ6 var en symbol för brittisk elegans och erbjöd en så smidig åktur att det kändes som om den gled över vägen. Den blev flaggskeppsmodellen för Jaguar och satte standarden för lyxbilar och visade en nivå av raffinering som imponerade på konkurrenterna.
Blandningen av klassiskt och modernt:
Medan MK2 och XJ6 representerade utvecklingen av Jaguars sedanmodeller, bibehöll de märkets engagemang för prestanda och lyx. Dessa bilar hörde inte bara hemma på racerbanan; de trivdes lika bra på de stora boulevarderna som på en avslappnad körning genom den engelska landsbygden.
Utmaningarna av förändring:
Men när 1970-talet närmade sig, ställdes Jaguar, liksom många brittiska biltillverkare, inför ekonomiska utmaningar och ägarförändringar. British Leyland-eran förde både möjligheter och svårigheter med sig när varumärket navigerade genom olika sammanslagningar och övergångar.
Ändå fortsätter arvet från MK2 och XJ6, tillsammans med D-typen och E-typen, att definiera Jaguar som en tillverkare som förenar tidlös elegans med en anda av prestanda. Dessa klassiska modeller, vare sig de körs på slingrande vägar eller står som samlarföremål, tjänar som ett vittnesbörd om Jaguars långvariga närvaro inom den automobila exklens värld.
Jaguar-historien, från dess tidiga dagar som SS Cars Ltd. till skapandet av ikoner som E-typen, MK2 och XJ6, är en resa som speglar essensen av brittisk bilkultur - en blandning av lyx, kraft och stil som fortsätter att fängsla entusiaster och samlare över hela världen.
