Jaguar E-Type Series 1

Automobiles

The Jaguar E-Type Series 1 is the original E-Type sports car, built by Jaguar Cars in Coventry from 1961 to 1967, followed by a transitional run in 1967 and 1968. It came as a fixed head coupe and an open two-seater, with a 2+2 coupe added in 1966. The first cars used the 3.8 litre XK six-cylinder engine, enlarged to 4.2 litres in October 1964, and all had independent rear suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. The Series 1 was introduced in March 1961, first for export only. Collectors prize it above the later series, and the early flat-floor cars are the most valuable.
