The Jaguar E-Type, is arguably one of the most iconic British sports cars. Originally introduced in 1961, its combination of good looks, high-performance and competitive pricing established the marque as an icon of 1960s motoring. Even the competition took notice of Jaguar’s E-Type, with Enzo Ferrari referring to it as, “the most beautiful car ever made.” Jaguar produced the E-Type through the 1975 model year.

This wonderful example of the breed is presented in British Racing Green. It’s powered by a 4.2-liter inline six-cylinder engine; arguably one of the most strikingly beautiful engine designs of the period. The stout, performance based engine is paired to a four-speed manual transmission with four-wheel disc brakes bringing this Jaguar to a graceful stop. Exterior features on the car include a luggage rack and knock-off wire wheels. The interior is complementary in green with a black soft-top. The interior also features a wood-rimmed steering wheel, an array of aircraft-type toggle switches and Smiths analog instrumentation.
