Upon its introduction in 1961, Enzo Ferrari claimed the Jaguar E-Type was "the most beautiful car ever made." With appreciation growing around the world for sports cars in the 1960s, the E-Type represented an impressive shift - offering stunning looks, a powerful DOHC inline-6, paired with independent suspension and 4-wheel disc brakes, all at a price that made it look like a bargain compared to the other sports cars coming out of Europe at the time. This Series I E-Type features the more powerful 4.2-liter inline-6 with triple SUs, an improved gearbox and has been under the care of the same family since 2006. The car drives better than new - when behind the wheel the driver is reminded why these are such iconic automobiles.
Finished in British Creme with a black convertible top, this E-Type OTS (Open Two Seater) presents in high-quality driver condition and features significant recent recommissioning. The stunning shape of the E-Type is complimented by a set of wire wheels which are wrapped in a set of Coker thin whitewall tires, which give a very period look. 1966 marked a great year for the E-Type as it retained its original covered headlight design, but with a slightly more spacious interior, increased power and a better gearbox.
In 2007, the interior was restored to factory specification in stunning red leather with matching red carpets. Drop down into the driver's seat and you're met with a wood-rimmed 3-spoke steering wheel that frames a pair of Smiths gauges with white-on-black readouts. To your right are four additional auxiliary gauges, that sit above a dashboard packed with rocker switches to control windshield wipers, blower fan and dash lights among other necessary functions.
Powering this E-Type is the 4.2-liter variant of Jaguar's famed dual overhead cam inline-6. With a trio of SU HD8 carburetors, this engine is rated for 265 horsepower and 283lb-ft of torque which is provided in a smooth, linear manner and with an outstanding sound coming out of the dual exhaust. The later Series I cars received an improved 4-speed manual gearbox with a 1st gear synchro, and offers a positive shift feel and easy operation. In April 2026, the entire rear end was rebuilt with an EZ Bleed system for the brakes, new bearings, shims seals and U-Joints, and the rear brakes were rebuilt as well. With inboard disc brakes at the rear, this is a significant service and having it completed should offer additional confidence for the new owner. At this time, a general tune up was also completed with new plugs, oil and filter.
Representing the best of 1960s England, the Series 1 E-Type convertible will be a sought after collector car for decades to come. Offering gorgeous styling and remarkably modern driving dynamics that can be enjoyed by even the most committed modern car driver, there are few vehicles that provide a more enjoyable top-down experience.
