You might have noticed that Jaguar are trying to destroy all their legacy that their founders created starting in the 1930’ies. Sad but true

At Daytona we have always been full of admiration of the creativity William Lyons and his co-workers boasted back in time – and by us you can secure yourself an extraordinary piece of history

Take the E-type. Developed from the C and D-type race cars. If you, for example,  look at the suspension at an E-type. You clearly see the intention was to produce a car that could handle very well. It was miles ahead what other car makers could invent. In fact is was so good that you could take your new car and win a race in it. Graham Hill did that. And they were sold for a third of other high-performance cars.

Everybody in the introduction year 1961 queued up for their example. Lots of famous people were among the first owners. Production couldn’t follow the demand. The world had never seen a predator like this. It was simply a wild creature, in all respects.

Our example came from the USA to Holland where it was restored. No body repairs, only the mechanical side. Our E-type has never been welded. The differential have had a European ratio. Just to mention the most important. Any inspection is welcome

It came to Denmark 20 years ago and have only had one careful owner in all these years. Being a part of a collection where no expense have been spared. Only driven in good weather

Our example is the most developed and driveable model year from 1966. With a better four synchro gearbox and better legroom than a flat floor. And for a much more reasonable price. Still having the glass covered headlights

It drives perfectly! Just listening at the sound from the exhaust – what a joy!
