Jaguar Type E série 1 1965 for sale

For Sale: 1965 Jaguar Type E Series 1 4.2L Engine Model History: Upon its release, the Jaguar Type E becomes the absolute reference. It surpasses its competitors with its revolutionary technique and aesthetics. Unveiled in March 1961 at the Geneva Motor Show, it creates a global shock. Jaguar then offers a production car with unprecedented performance and radical design. Its technology comes directly from competition. The Type E stands out with its four independent wheels and disc brakes. Its monocoque chassis houses a refined interior: wooden steering wheel, aluminum, and bucket seats. Its fluid line integrates faired headlights. Under the hood, the XK engine with three SU carburetors delivers exceptional power. Quickly, it becomes the icon of British sport and elegance. Adopted by stars and cinema, it remains one of the most coveted Jaguars in the world today. As early as 1963, the Type E Lightweight shines in competition, notably at Le Mans. This road model already reached 240 km/h. Produced in 4,249 units (LHD), the 4.2L Coupe version is the most sought after. It features a synchronized gearbox and a more torquey engine. It is the perfect compromise between performance and modern comfort. History of this Jaguar Type E Series 1: Delivered new in 1965 in the United States, this Series 1 reappears in 2010 in Virginia.
