0.00 EUR
JAGUAR E-Type
Year of issue: 1974
Engine type: 5.343cc 12 Cylinders in V

At the time of its launch it was the world's most advanced sports car, with a tubular racing chassis a year before this type of chassis design appeared in Formula 1. Indeed it has become the most famous icon of the 60s.

Many celebrities have been fans of the E-Type Jaguar. First Brigitte Bardot, followed by singer Roy Orbison, Tony Curtis, George Harrison, Roger Moore, Steve McQueen (it was his wife's favourite vehicle), Princess Grace of Monaco and many others ...

Its bodywork is considered to be a work of art. In 1996 the aesthetics of the E-Type Jaguar was celebrated when a dark blue model like ours (Opalescent Dark Blue) was exhibited at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. This vehicle now belongs to the permanent collection of the famous MOMA. Its body is likened to a sculpture, a work of art turned into a car. What balance!! The hood is half the total length!! The Jaguar XK-E impresses even when stationary.

On "The Daily Telegraph" website, the E-Type was voted the most beautiful car of all time, just as in "Autocar" magazine, where in both general public and car expert votes, it always appears as the most beautiful vehicle of the 20th century, ahead of the Ferrari 250 GT SWB or the Lamborghini Miura.

It was in the E-Type that Jaguar used a V-12 engine for the first time. They had previously used the famous Twin-Cam XK six-cylinder engine. When Jaguar thought of a larger engine, they first thought of a V-8 that when installed on sedans could compete with the Rolls-Royce V-8 (Silver Shadow), but finally decided on the quieter and balanced aluminum V-12 with cruising speeds of 170-180 kph. It is so quiet as to permit the most intimate conversations or enjoyment of the most subtle piano concerto. Its performance is impressive: first gear with an insolent ease to 80 kph, passing second in seconds, 130 kph effortlessly in third, 170 kph in fourth, accelerating to 200-210-220-230- 240-250 ......

A car designed for lovers of beautiful vehicles, comfortable and with highest quality features. It is one of the best symbols of an era that will never return, a time when everything seemed possible.
