The Type E directly descended from the E2A models, which were particularly successful at the Le Mans 24 Hours, entered by Cunningham in 1960. First unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1961 in its 3. 8 liter version, the 4. 2 liter series 1 then appeared in October 1964, and with the bore increased from 87mm to 92mm, the engine offered a more wholesome torque. The Type E series 2 was the first real stylistic and technical evolution of the model, appearing in October 1968. It had several modifications to meet American standards: the enlargement of the grille, headlamps lost their Perspex cover, the rear lamps went below the bumpers, and the center console inside modified.
According to the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certification, this beautiful roadster was sold new in the United States, via the British Leyland distributor in New York, in August 1970. It was then green in color, with a light green interior. It seems that the car had only one owner in the United States, before it was transported to Scotland in 2005 by an enthusiast. As can be seen by the thick invoice folder, which we strongly advise potential buyers to consult, more than €65, 000 was spent by the latter to give the car its superb condition today. It is now in a beautiful red color with a biscuit-colored interior, giving the car a most beautiful combination. The engine, which is the original one, has been redone. The car is equipped with air conditioning and a new Kenwood radio has been fitted. The car was bought by the current collector, completely seduced by the good general condition of the car, for his trips to Monaco.
