This Jaguar E-Type first came to us in May 2015 for a complete repaint, panelwork rectification and general factory level detailing.
After many hours of hard work, the car was finished in original livery of opalescent silver blue. Time was then taken to obtain correct finishes for all components to ensure the car was as close to factory original as possible.

Jaguar E-Type Series 1
The Series 1 was introduced, initially for export only, in March 1961. The domestic market launch came four months later in July 1961. The cars at this time used the triple SU carburetted 3.8-litre six-cylinder Jaguar XK6 engine from the XK150S. Earlier built cars utilised external bonnet latches which required a tool to open and had a flat floor design. These cars are rare and more valuable.
