The overall condition of this E-Type is a testament to its careful ownership and maintenance. The exterior's black paintwork has a depth of shine that belies its age, matched by fantastic brightwork that accentuates its classic lines. Inside, the light grey interior contrasts beautifully with the exterior, with soft leather seats that invite long, comfortable journeys. 

The minor wear in the driver's footwell is a small reminder of the car's history and use, but does not detract from the overall impression of a well-cared-for classic. This E-Type not only promises to be a visual centrepiece but also offers the driving experience of a lifetime, blending exhilarating performance with unparalleled grace and agility on the road for a car of this era. 

The Mechanics

Superb 4,235cc inline-6 engine

Engine bay and the engine present very well throughout 

Starts easily and idles smoothly 

Sounds fantastic 

The owner informs us that the car drives as it should with no known issues 

The underside of the car appears to be in superb condition along with all visible components 

The mechanical condition of this E-Type is as impressive as its aesthetics. The heart of this classic is a 4,235cc inline-6 engine that provides a powerful yet smooth drive, complemented by an automatic transmission that makes for a driving experience that can either be relaxed or exhilarating depending on your mood.

Regular maintenance is evident in the clean engine bay and the very well-preserved underside of the car. On the road, the owner informs us that this Jaguar performs exactly as it should, with a robust engine sound that is music to the ears of any enthusiast.
