Mr. Ferrari knew a pretty car when he saw one and he might have been one of the first to express the sentiment but an incalculable number of others have said virtually the same thing and they're still saying it fifty years later. Designed by a noted aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer the E-type was meant to cheat the wind but its glass covered headlights long hood short rear deck and compound curves also coincidentally looked great. With a 0-60 time of around seven seconds and a 150 mph top speed the Series I E-type was near the top of the early 1960s food chain. A 2+2 coupe was added to the coupe and convertible body styles in 1966. The 2+2 was the first E-type to be available with an automatic transmission.This sensational Jaguar has undergone an intensive pre-sale inspection by renowned Jaguar expert 'Jag John' at the Park Place Service Center.
