*Jaguar E-Type Series I “Outside Bonnet Lock” – Gunmetal beauty with red flair*Do you know what écht is really special? A Jaguar E-Type with a rare detail that only the experts get hot: the outside bonnet locks. These are the hood locks on the outside, as only the very first E-Types that rolled off the assembly line in 1961 had them. Fewer than 500 were ever built. Rightfully a rare E-Type.In addition, this example is “flat floor” which will appeal to many E-Type enthusiasts. These early examples with flat floors soon gave way to some more comfort, only at the expense of purity. *Beautiful color and in very clean condition*This Jaguar E-Type is painted in an insanely beautiful color: Gunmetal metallic. A deep, stylish color that contrasts beautifully with the Connolly red leather interior. It exudes a kind of restraint, totally fitting for this stylish British sports car, but with an overdose of flair. In the past, this Jaguar underwent restoration and overhaul work and the entire car looks very clean. A Jaguar that was pampered but used regularly, with occasional drives through downtown Paris where this Jaguar was often spotted.The paint shows very clean, with normal signs of use. The overall appearance is great. The chrome shines beautifully, the wire wheels are very clean and the overall impression is neat and cared for. Inside? A lovely red cocoon of quality leather, just as it should be. The dashboard, the counters, the details, everything is right and that makes this Jaguar a very fine specimen.*Drives great*Under the long hood lies the familiar 3.8-liter six-cylinder with three SU carburetors. The engine runs smoothly, sounds great and delivers exactly that sporty punch you would expect from an early E-Type. The entire technology has also been overhauled, so driving is écht enjoyment. That makes this E-Type not only beautiful to look at, but also a pleasure to take on the road.*Rare and sought after*With fewer than 500 of these early examples with the ‘outside bonnet locks’ this is a rare and early E-Type. Looking for one of the most desirable E-Types ever made and planning to hit the streets of Paris? One thing about it: this Jaguar feels perfectly at home there. And with the combination of color, condition and original details, this is one to cherish.*Contact Gallery Aaldering now*Are you interested in this beautiful and rare Jaguar?
