Model history
The Jaguar E-Type, first unveiled in 1961, is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful sports cars of all time. Even the Museum of Modern Art in New York has included one in its exhibition. The E-Type was developed under the direction of company founder William Lyons in close collaboration with aerodynamicist Malcom Sayers, who drew heavily on the successful Le Mans racing car XKD. Three series of the E-Type were produced between 1961 and 1974. The Series 1 vehicles were initially equipped with the six-cylinder engine from the predecessor model, the XK 150. In 1964, the displacement of this engine was increased from 3.8 to 4.2 liters, which was also retained in Series 2 until 1971. In Series 3, the E-Type finally received the new 5.3-liter V12 engine.

Comments of this past auction
Technik: Der Sechszylinder-Reihenmotor mit 3781 cm³ und 265 bhp/269 PS (197,6 kW) entspricht dem des XK 150 S 3,8 Liter. Er treibt über ein Viergangschaltgetriebe die Hinterräder an. Der E-Type erreicht eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von knapp 240 km/h. Außer seiner hohen Leistung galt insbesondere das von Malcolm Sayer entwickelte Design als aufregend. Vor allem in den USA wurde der E-Type mit großem Erfolg verkauft. Der Stahlgitterrohrrahmen unter der Motorhaube trägt Motor und Vorderradaufhängung und ist an der Spritzwand mit der im Übrigen selbsttragenden Ganzstahlkarosserie verschraubt. Jaguar ging damit den beim Jaguar D-Type eingeschlagenen Weg weiter. Neu für die konservative britische Autoindustrie war die hintere Trapezlenkerachse an einem eigenen Hilfsrahmen mit einem Längslenker und zwei Feder-Dämpfer-Einheiten, mit den Antriebswellen als oberen Querlenkern. Die Konstruktion erwies sich hinsichtlich des Fahrverhaltens, des Fahrkomforts und des Aussehens als gelungen und wurde bis 1996 verwendet.
Sehr geehrte Bieter, ein spannender Kommentar zum angebotenen E-Type, mit weiteren Insights zu diesem Fahrzeug: "Im Original verfügt der E-Type mit der 4.2 Liter-Maschine über zwei Skinner Union (SU) Vergaser, mit denen die PS-Leistung gerade einmal ca. 220 DIN-PS betrug. In der US-Ausführung, um welche es sich offensichtlich handelt, wurde die Leistung noch einmal auf ca. 160 DIN-PS abgemagert. In dem vorgestellten E-Type sind dagegen drei Weber Doppelvergaser montiert worden, was dem Oldie tatsächlich zu den in der Beschreibung genannten 270 DIN-PS verhilft." Das macht den E-Type deutlich wertvoller und teurer, als normale E-Types. Hier können Sie also ein wirklich tolles Fahrzeug zu sehr guten Konditionen ersteigern.
