‘NUD 21’ is a good-looking car, as well it might be having been treated to a full bare metal respray in its original eye-catching colour of Primrose Yellow (digital images of restoration available upon request). A lefthand drive Series 2 export model at birth, it has also been converted to righthand drive, though retains its original Stromberg carburettors – home-market cars breathed through a trio of SUs. The Jaguar was gifted to the vendor by his late mother and father, and he currently classes the four-speed manual transmission, roadster bodywork and paintwork as ‘excellent’, and the straight-six engine and black leather upholstery as ‘good’. He is now selling this attractive E-Type complete with a blue tooth stereo system. The odometer presently indicates a totally credible though unwarranted total mileage of 72,372.
The last E-Type Jaguar rolled off the production line in 1975, yet the model still has a unique ability to excite enthusiasts of all generations, its Malcolm Sayer–penned lines thought by many to be among the most striking ever to adorn a motor car. The E-Type or XK-E as it was known in the USA, made its debut at the 1961 Geneva Salon. Like the XK120 before it, at launch the new Jaguar was the fastest production car of its time – its 3.8-litre straight-six engine allowing a 0-60mph acceleration time of a whisker over seven seconds and a top speed of circa 150mph. From birth, the car was available either as a fixed head coupe or two-seat roadster. The engine size was increased from 3.8 to 4.2-litres in October 1964. With the change came a sweeter all-synchromesh gearbox, better brakes and more comfortable seats. What are retrospectively known as Series 2 cars were launched in 1968 – they featured a number of modifications required by the Federal market, eg: exposed headlamps, collapsible steering column, safety rocker switches for the facia, larger bumpers and revised side, stop and flasher lamps.
In summary:
- An export Series 2 model that’s been converted to righthand drive
- The subject of a bare metal respray in its original colour
- Currently displaying a credible but unwarranted 72,372 miles
