The Jaguar E-Type, produced between 1961 and 1975, is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful production cars ever made. Enzo Ferrari famously called it “the most beautiful car ever built.” The Series 1.5, built in 1967 and 1968, occupies a transitional position in the model’s history: it retained the elegant Series 1 bodywork while incorporating changes that would carry through to the Series 2, including exposed headlights and revised indicators. The 4.2-litre XK straight-six engine, introduced with the Series 1 in 1964, delivered improved torque and a more versatile power delivery than the original 3.8-litre unit. Today, E-Types of this specification are sought after as both driving classics and investment-grade collector cars.
