A True 1960s Automotive Icon

Jaguar’s Series 1 E-Type Roadster

Even today, some six decades later, the the purity of the Series 1 design remains captivating ever since it’s unveiling to the public at The Geneva Motor Show in 1961.

Its legendary silhouette continues to turn heads wherever it arrives – a testament to innovative engineering and timeless beauty.

Sir William Lyons’ love of long sweeping lines and Malcolm Sayers’ aerodynamic principles culminated in Jaguar’s distinctive covered headlights that define the S1′s unmistakable profile.

The classic E-Type cockpit welcomes you with minimalist design focused purely on the driving experience. A large wooden-rimmed 3-spoke steering wheel commands your attention, while oversized speedometer and rev counter gauges sit directly ahead. Five smaller gauges and toggle switches align neatly on the center console, and the thoughtful addition of a cigar dashboard lighter completes this engaging and focused driving environment unlike any other.

Renowned for its independent rear suspension and disc brakes all round, the Series 1 E-Type offered sophisticated handling for its era, providing a surprisingly connected feel on the road that continues to impress even by today’s standards.

The legendary XK straight-six 4.2 engine delivers 265bhp, propelling you from 0 to 60mph in just 6.5 seconds. Its distinctive exhaust note is truly addictive, especially when exploring the car’s capability to exceed double the UK’s national 70mph speed limit.

This particular E-Type Roadster is one of our Signature S1 rebuilds completed in 2013. Finished in our stunning Opalescent Signature Gunmetal Green with an Old English Red interior, it features our fast open road engine with fast cams & sports suspension with six branch exhaust, power steering & D Type wheels.

Recently workshop prepared, this automotive icon is ready to be enjoyed this summer & continues Jaguar’s ethos of Space, Grace & Pace.
