Ultra-low-mileage original E-type
Jonathan Ostroff showcases the E-type owned by the Chairman of Hexagon Classics
With just 10,563 miles recorded since new, this Opalescent Silver Blue, one owner, Fixed Head Coupé is obviously something very special. In terms of originality and provenance it may have no equal.
The Jaguar E-type has become a British automobile legend. Manufactured by Jaguar Cars Ltd between 1961 and 1975, it
combined sensational modern looks, high performance and competitive pricing that instantly captured the imagination of the public at the time, and it has remained a truly iconic piece of British motoring history since. It was voted ‘The most beautiful car of all time’ in a Daily Telegraph poll. Sports Car International magazine placed the E-type at Number 1 on its list of ‘Top Sports Cars of the Decade’.
The Jaguar 3.8-litre E-type was introduced, initially for export only, in March 1961. The car’s domestic launch came four months later in July 1961. The cars at that time used the triple SU-carburetted 3.8 litre 6-cylinder Jaguar engine from the

By focussing, we can have a 60-page, professionally produced magazine devoted entirely to all aspects of E-types, and just E-types. We can have events that are just for E-types, not for a wide spread of vehicles that even includes SUVs. Our advertisers know that they are reaching just E-type owners, although many members do have other cars as well...

9600 HP runs in Catesby Tunnel for aerodynamic measurements
Philip Porter took 9600 HP to the Catesby Tunnel in Northamptonshire in mid-September, as mentioned in last month’s ‘Editorial’, working in conjunction with LaVision – specialists in laser imaging systems and optical sensors for use in the analysis of fluid mechanics, combustion, and spray and particle diagnostics. More recently, the company has produced camera-based surface-inspection equipment and in-cylinder infra-red sensors. 9600 HP was driven through the tunnel (an old railway tunnel today used for straight-line vehicle the aerodynamic characteristics of the E-type.
