1963 Jaguar E-Type S1 3.8 Roadster | SOLD

Jaguar’s E-Type was the sexiest car of the 1960s. It followed a proven Jaguar formula: sensational looks and superb performance at an impossibly low price. The XK 120 in 1949 was among the first Jaguars to follow this idea, and by 1961, it was time to bring it back with an all-new car. In place of the voluptuous curves of the XK-series of Jaguar was the sleek E-Type’s, a design that Enzo Ferrari called "the most beautiful car ever built".

The E-Type used a monocoque construction: the front of the chassis featuring a space frame with steel tubes supporting the engine, the front suspension and the hinged hood, which lifted to provide virtually unlimited access to the 3.8 L twin-cam inline six-cylinder engine which can propel the car to a top speed of 150 mph. It also offered four-wheel independent suspension and disc brakes at each corner for excellent road holding. It is no wonder that the E-Type became a motoring icon.
