History
This Series I 4.2 E-type is the most desirable of all the series with a fully synchronized 4 speed transmission, covered headlights, toggle switches on the dash, comfortable bucket seats, center console, and arm rest. This makes the best driver and the most collectable for an investment grade vehicle. The Jaguar on offer is finished in red with black interior and is fitted with the uncommon removable hardtop. The classic lines on this car are respected throughout the automotive world; the design is iconic. The convertible is well-presented and powered by a 258-cid, 265-hp six-cylinder twin-camshaft engine with three carburetors and backed by a four-speed manual transmission. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes. Currently has a AM/FM Craig radio.
