Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5

The Jaguar E-Type, unveiled in 1961, is a true automotive icon. Its elegant design and impressive performance have made it one of the most legendary cars in history. Equipped with an in-line six-cylinder engine of 3.8L, then 4.2L, it offered a top speed of over 240 km/h, a feat for its time. Its aerodynamic bodywork, inspired by racing cars, combines beauty and efficiency. Available as a coupe and roadster, the E-Type appealed to enthusiasts and collectors alike. In 1971, Jaguar introduced a 5.3L V12 engine, offering even greater power and flexibility. Today, the Jaguar Type E remains an absolute benchmark of elegance and performance, a symbol of British craftsmanship.
The Jaguar E-Type Series 1½, produced between 1967 and 1968, is a transitional version between the Series 1 and Series 2. It retained the iconic design of the first generation, with its flowing lines and long hood, but incorporated a number of technical and aesthetic modifications. These include the disappearance of the bubble headlamps, which are now more exposed to comply with US regulations. The interior has also been redesigned and the dashboard modernized. Under the hood, the 4.2L in-line six-cylinder engine continues to deliver 265 hp, offering remarkable performance for its time.
Rare and sought-after, this intermediate version is prized by collectors for its unique blend of classicism and modernity.
Imported from California in 2012, this 1968 Jaguar E-Type is a superb representative of the legendary Series 1½. Its FFVE certification makes it a true collector’s vehicle, recognized for its authenticity and history. Dressed in an elegant “British Racing Green” hue and adorned with a green interior, it embodies British refinement in its purest form. Its 4.2L engine, renowned for its robustness and flexibility, has been completely overhauled to guarantee optimum performance.
With almost €45,000 invested in its refurbishment, this Type E is in fine mechanical and aesthetic condition. Its 4-speed gearbox ensures an authentic and enjoyable driving experience, true to the spirit of Jaguar. Unlike many exhibition-only cars, this Jaguar is a true Daily Driver, ready to hit the road with elegance and reliability. A car for enthusiasts, combining driving pleasure and exclusivity.
