The Jaguar E-Type was manufactured by Jaguar Cars Ltd between 1961 and 1975. Its combination of beauty, high performance and competitive pricing established the model as an icon of the motoring world. At a time when most cars had drum brakes, live rear axles, and mediocre performance, the E-Type sprang on the scene with 150 mph and a sub-7 second 0-60 time, Monocoque Construction, disc brakes, rack and pinion steering, independent front and rear suspension, and unrivalled looks. The E-Type was based on Jaguar's D-Type racing car which had won the 24 Hours of Le Mans three consecutive years and, as such, it employed the racing design of a body tub attached to a tubular framework, with the engine bolted directly to the framework. On its release in March 1961 Enzo Ferrari called it "the most beautiful car ever made".

Although Jaguar itself never recognised a "Series 1½" or "Series 1.5," over time, this sub-category has been recognised by the Jaguar Owners Club of Great Britain and other leading authorities. The original 4.2-litre Series 1 was made in model years 1965-1967. Series 1½ cars were made in model year 1968.

Our Series 1½ example which according to the Jaguar Heritage Certificate which accompanies the car was delivered as a Right Hand Drive car in Pale Primrose Yellow, the colour it still carries today car by Hillsborough Garage, Sheffield on 25 June 1968 to Mr Cyril Des Forges.

We have just completed a complete mechanical overhaul of this E-Type replacing a number of parts including a full Service, the Steering Rack, Suspension Bushes and Exhaust. Additionally, the paintwork has just been refreshed to a very high standard, (photographs on file). There are a number of earlier invoices on file that support good maintenance over time and would appear to support the current recorded mileage of 93,000 miles.

We would describe this car as absolutely On the Button ready to enjoy this summer and for many summers to come; Goodwood here we come. Whilst the cost of the enjoyment of ownership and driving this lovely car is very hard to put a number on we imagine the value of the new owner's investment will continue to grow.
