The driving capabilities of this specific E-type are excellent. But this is not strange as it is a very original car in a superb condition. It happens quite often that a car is driving horrible after it has been fully restored. This car is driving as it is newly build. Really perfect. It is extremely fast, it turns when you want and you can really race it but it can also be used for holiday trips. The E-type is not a difficult car to drive but it needs good handling because of the impressive power in the car. The seats are formidable. It is possible to drive along with the car from Amsterdam to warmer places without operations on your back during the trip. It is very special that this specific E-Type with chassis number 879311 is an original European Spec. Car. Most of the Jaguar E-types have started their life in the United States but this car is newly delivered in Belgium via the local distributor, Belgian Motor Company in Bruxelles. When the E-type was newly delivered it was in the same color as it is now, Opalescent Moonbeam Grey with a black softtop and a grey interior. Only the interior color has been changed and is nowadays beige. The car is in an original but an extremely nice condition. The paintwork is very nice as well as the intior. Also the chromework and the doorfittings are very nice. The former owner has spend a lot of money on the car. Eveything had to be as perfect as possible. Therefore the engine has been completely checked as well as the drive trains and the brakes. ?In short: this is an very nice example of a superb icon in one of the most wanted series from the E-type ever made.
