The E-type is one of those rare gifts to the automotive world, the result of a passionate team with a clear focus. William Lyons, founder and president of Jaguar, had a keen eye for style and a sense of taste that became the cornerstone of Jaguar. In 1950, he employed Malcolm Sayer, a brilliant mathematician and engineer with an intrinsic passion for automobiles, to shape the sensuous body of the E-type.
Taking what it had learned on the track with the D-type and applying it to its new model, Jaguar's new E-type featured a monocoque passenger compartment and tail section, a tube-framed engine bay, and a tilting
bonnet. With its well-appointed interior, civilized 3.8-liter six-cylinder engine, and a compliant suspension, the E-type was an ideal two-place sports car.
The desirable early roadster described here was purchased out of Gooding & Comapany auction in 2006. Perfectly maintained and kept in a climate controlled environment, it is in concourse condition and should reward its new owner with excellent performance and timeless good looks.
