Once described as “the most beautiful car ever made” by Enzo Ferrari, Jaguar had developed the perfect high performance, competitively priced alternative to Ferrari’s and Maserati’s that dominated the 60’s race scene. With its astoundingly obvious beauty, race car handling and potential speed of 150mph, the XKE soon became an automotive icon across the globe.
There is no denying that the 2+2 model has the look of the delectable 2-seater coupe. Introduced in 1965, the 2+2 model featured a lengthened wheelbase offering an additional 9 inches in length as well as an extra 2 inches in height, both of which provided added cabin space. The Series 1 2+2 is the ideal sporting family driver, offering child-friendly rear seats.
The Series 1 E-Type ranked number 1 in Sports Car International Magazine ‘Top Sports Cars of the 1960’s’ and in 2008 came first in The Daily Telegraphs ‘100 Most Beautiful Cars of All Time’.
