If there is a car that has become an "icon" it is the JAGUAR type E?!

This car has everything going for it: a racing design with a cell forming a passenger compartment and a tubular trellis supporting the mechanics and running gear, a 6-cylinder XK engine with 2 overhead camshafts, 2 large Stromberg carburettors (original US) to stuff the beast and a breathtaking line.

The convertible or roadster is the most beautiful definition with a body line without breaks, from the front bumper to that of the rear, just underlined by fine chrome moldings and softened by the curve of the fenders. Great art! Not a wrinkle 50 years later.

The type E that we offer was American in its infancy and then crossed the Atlantic in 1997. At that time it benefited from a restoration after complete and free disassembly by customs who did not know how to put everything back together...

Fortunately a professional took care of it, the result is remarkable. The follow-up since the purchase in 2000 by the current owner is justified by a solid invoice file including the hood and a tonneau cover, starter revision, spoke wheel revision, change of the rack and ball joints, transmitter and receiver clutch, radiator overhaul, axle bearing, repair of the self-locking axle, distribution chain and guides, engine pulley...

The counter initially in miles has been replaced by one graduated in kilometers.

The E-type Jaguars are among the "great classics", they always arouse interest, even passion.

Everyone recognizes the timeless beauty of this automobile, a real "collector's" car.

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
