A car whose heady blend of styling and performance were so exceptional at its 1961 Geneva Motor Show launch they continue to cast a smooth, elliptical shadow over the marque's new sports cars some 55 years later.

With its flowing lines and wonderful 4,235cc 6-cylinder overhead camshaft engine, the 'Series 1.5' Jaguar E-Type fixed-head coupe has to be one of the finest sporting cars of its era. 1 of just 374 home market examples ‘ULU540F’ is finished in Dark Blue, its original colour on the date of despatch on the 19th December 1967 to its original distributor Henly’s of London.
