Overview

The Jaguar E-Type S1 is not just a car, it is one of the greatest icons in automotive history. When the Jaguar E-Type S1appeared at the Geneva Motor Show in 1961, it redefined what a sports car could be. Enzo Ferrari himself described the Jaguar E-Type S1 as “the most beautiful car ever made,” a statement that remains true more than sixty years later.

Born directly from Jaguar’s racing successes at Le Mans, the Jaguar E-Type S1 brought advanced engineering such as independent suspension and disc brakes straight onto the road. Affordable compared to Ferraris or Maseratis, the Jaguar E-Type S1 quickly became the symbol of performance, freedom and design in the 1960s.

By 1967, the Jaguar E-Type S1 4.2 had evolved into its most refined form. With its 4.2-litre straight-six engine, the Jaguar E-Type S1 offered torque, smoothness and effortless performance. Its long bonnet, covered headlights and perfect proportions ensured that the Jaguar E-Type S1 remained one of the most desirable cars of its era — and still today.

This particular Jaguar E-Type S1, chassis 1E34541, was delivered new to New York in 1967.

With matching numbers, Swiss registration and excellent mechanical condition, this Jaguar E-Type S1 is ready for its next chapter.
