In 1961, Jaguar introduced the world to what would be one of the world?s most iconic sports car ever to grace the motorways, the ?E-Type?. The XKE was Jaguar?s all new sports car that replaced the legendary race-bred 120, 140 and 150 XK series, and to this day maintains a timeless appeal. The new two seat XKE came in two body styles, a streamline hatchback coupe or the open cockpit roadster extenuating pure bodylines with sleek covered headlamps.
This beautiful Carmen Red E-Type roadster was recently restored to a very high level. The interior is lined with hand-stitched black leather and bright aluminum trim. The aircraft-type switchgear and gauges combined with a beautiful timber-rimmed steering wheel gives the driver a cockpit type sensation. An important feature of this car is that this is a very early flat floor version of which only a few thousand were made. This is first year of this impressive and honored sports car design, and most certainly holds a place in history. Here is a fine opportunity to own and drive a true British icon that is highly collectible and enjoyable.
