Jaguar E Type Series 1 4.2 '66 CH12416
90 000 € EUR

The 1966 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 is widely regarded as one of the most legendary sports cars of all time, praised for its timeless design, pure performance and elegant sporting character. This example, finished in black and retaining its matching numbers, offers enthusiasts the chance to own a 1960s icon that still requires partial restoration.

This version is the most sought-after among E-Types: it combines the elegant bodywork of the early series with the distinctive covered headlights, while offering more interior space. The seats are less “bucket-like” than those of the 3.8-litre version, making it suitable even for taller and heavier drivers. Under the bonnet sits the best evolution of the XK engine: the 4.2-litre, known for its strong low-end torque, reliability and wonderful sound. Equipped with triple SU carburettors, it delivers both smooth cruising and spirited driving – an engine Jaguar would continue to use in various models well into the 1990s.
