Description Since the launch in 1961 of the Jaguar E-Type it has received many accolades supporting its legendary design and power; including Enzo Ferrari who described the E-Type as, ‘the most beautiful car in the world’. As with all motorcars that underwent progressive design and improvement, the Series II E-Type benefitted from open headlights without glass covers, a wrap-around rear bumper, re-positioned and larger front indicators, tail lights below the bumpers and more comfortable seats. Standard Series II upgrades also included uprated brakes and twin electric fans enabling better cooling. Like the late series 1½ cars, the engine is easily identified by the change from polished to ribbed cam covers and whilst the US specification cars were detuned with twin Strombergs and larger valve clearances, the UK cars retained triple SU carburettors Matching numbers and purchased new from Jaguar agents Herrington Motors, New York in 1969 by Miss Sarah J Hammer, this particular E-type was used up to 1985 when unfortunately through illness Miss Hammer was no longer able to use it. The car was stored in her garage until 2015. Upon repatriation to the UK, the car was subject to light recommissioning. Work included replacing essentials such as a new hood, stainless steel exhaust, fuel pump, brake and clutch master cylinders and brake servo unit, battery, carburetor overhaul, service and of course the fitment of five new original Dunlop SP Sport tyres, (Invoices are available in the cars file). The car is accompanied with its original tools, handbooks, service book, numerous invoices, a NOVA Certificate confirming all UK taxes paid, recent MOT Certificate and Jaguar Heritage Certificate confirming its originality. There is also a letter from Miss Hammer confirming that she was the original and sole owner and the 45000 mileage is warranted as genuine. This E-Type can only be described as in superb condition commensurate with its age and mileage. A unique opportunity to purchase a low mileage,one lady owner E-Type.
