Sold 1965 Jaguar XKE Series I 2146363761 Tweet

A car Enzo Ferrari called the most beautiful car ever made, the Jaguar E-Type is considered by many to be one of the most gorgeous automobiles ever built. It took the automotive world by storm upon its unveiling at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show and still continues to turn heads to this day. Produced in three distinct series over the course of 14 years, the most desirable iteration has always been the first Series 1, with the ultimate evolution being those fitted with the later, 4.2-liter straight six-cylinder engine. While the 4.2-liter engine produced the same amount of horsepower as the earlier 3.8-liter, it did feature an increase in torque, allowing for better tractability in everyday driving. A variety of other minor changes were also introduced at the same time, including furnishing the gearbox with full synchros, a new brake booster, and adjustable seatbacks. The exterior remained unchanged, and Jaguar clearly knew it was best to leave what many consider to be its greatest design untouched. The magnificent Series 1 4.2 Fixed Head Coupe featured here is finished in stunning Signal Red with a gorgeous black leather interior. This incredible motorcar has been beautifully restored and would make a great addition to any premier collection. Incredible opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored Series 1 for considerably less than its restoration cost!
