The seller offers for sale a 1964 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 Fixed Head Coupe featuring a manual transmission and a petrol-powered 4.2 liter six-cylinder engine. The engine and gearbox have been restored. A new fuel tank has been installed, which is a valuable improvement on this model, and the braking system has been rebuilt with new rubber parts, pads, and brake pipes. A new cooling fan has also been added to support reliable engine operation. The paintwork and interior are not perfect and show visible age-related patina, offering an honest and appealing classic appearance. The interior could be rebuilt if desired, but it currently reflects the charm of a well-used E-Type that can still be enjoyed on the road. The car holds a valid technical inspection.
The Jaguar E-Type Series 1 is widely regarded as one of the most important sports cars of the 1960s. Upon its introduction, it combined advanced engineering with striking design and strong performance, placing it among the most admired cars of its era. The 4.2 liter version is especially appreciated for its improved torque and smoother drivability compared to earlier variants. Its long bonnet, flowing lines, and engaging driving experience helped establish the E-Type as an icon of British automotive design. Today, the model remains highly desirable among collectors and enthusiasts, valued for both its visual appeal and its lasting significance in motoring history.
