Story

The launch price of the car was around £2,250, comparatively valued at £38,000 in today’s money, which made it surprisingly more affordable than many other sports cars.

It also featured much more modern specifications such as independent rear suspension and all-round disk brakes that put it ahead of its time.

The 3.8 liter engine gave out a claimed 265bhp and could reach a top speed of 150mph, which made it the fastest production car in the world at that time.

Series 2

The Series 2 E-Type was available in a number of different models including the 4.2 Open Two-Seater, Fixed Head Coupe and Two Plus Two.

Due in major part to directives from the US National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, the Series 2 E-Type incorporated a number of design developments.

There were a few significant changes from the original E-Type: a larger oval intake for better cooling, larger tail-, stop lights and front turn-signals and of course the open headlights.

On the inside, the Series 2 had a revised switch array, where rocker switches replaced the earlier toggle switches.
