This E-type S1 was delivered new to Lagerwij's, in The Hague, on 3 September 1962. Exterior, interior and technically in a very good, original condition!
Only 7,669 units were built of the Series I 3.8 fixed head coupé. A very small number of these was delivered in the Netherlands.
The E-type has remained an absolute beauty since its unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show in 1961. Even Enzo Ferrari called the E-type ''the most beautiful car ever made''. Technically, the E-type was way ahead of its time, the E-type had disc brakes all round and independent wheel suspension, the performance was also amazing: 0-100 km/h in 7 seconds and a top speed of 241 km/h. Inconceivable in the 60s.
This E-type is in a beautiful, properly driving and original condition. The clutch pedal is a bit high, the clutch may occasionally be replaced in the coming years. However, the car currently drives very well and does not slip. The light patina gives the Jaguar extra character. A beautiful, honest car.
Including the heritage certificate, old license plate, FEHAC / FIVA card, and purchase invoice from 1993!
