On July 18, 1955, an entertainment icon was established when Walt Disney opened the gates to his unique vision of an amusement park for all ages\u2014Disneyland. Some will remember that in those early days, visitors needed tickets to experience the various rides and attractions. The more subdued rides might call for an \u201cA\u201d or \u201cB\u201d ticket, but the most thrilling rides\u2014the ones everyone wanted to experience\u2014required the best and most valuable ticket\u2014an \u201cE\u201d ticket.\u00a0 While Disneyland introduced the concept of the E-ticket to the general public, Jaguar was introducing its own version of a thrill ride for automotive enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

The 1950s were halcyon days for Jaguar. With postwar demand for sports cars reaching record levels, Jaguar\u2019s iconic XK120 two-seater quickly became a must-have amongst the American and European \u201csporty car\u201d set. Alongside success in the showrooms, the decade also marked a period of near total domination by Jaguar in endurance racing, including 24 Hours of Le Mans victories in 1951, 1953, 1955, 1956 & 1957. Continued success on the track was becoming more difficult to achieve in the face of more technologically advanced competitors and the iconic XK range was beginning to look dated compared to products from Aston Martin, Ferrari, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Jaguar withdrew its factory-sponsored racecars after the 1956 Le Mans triumph and the competition department was tasked with the design of a new sports car based on the competition cars that owned the Maison Blanc and Mulsanne Straight. The resulting E-Type was a direct descendant of the D-Type that had won the World Sports Car Championship and shared its XK engine, disc brakes and semi-monocoque chassis design while clothed in an aerodynamic envelope artfully fashioned by Malcolm Sayer.<\/p>\n

It was the beautifully sleek profile over advanced mechanicals that would cement the E-Type\u2019s reputation as an automotive hallmark. It was the equivalent of finding out that the supermodel for which you\u2019ve pined was also an honors graduate with an affinity for small animals, children and charitable works. The new Jaguar would forever mark the transition from the conservative fifties into the sexy sixties and prepare the world for Ursula Andress, Brigitte Bardot and Raquel Welch. Following its launch at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, Enzo Ferrari proclaimed the new cat as \u201cThe most beautiful car ever made\u201d and, in time, would grace the Museum of Modern Art in New York and sit atop the list of the \u201c100 Most Beautiful Cars of All Time.\u201d<\/p>\n

What was truly incredible about the car was not the curvaceous body, nor the world-class suspension, but the fact that it was downright affordable when compared to its peers \u2013 at less than half the cost of the Aston Martin DB4 GT you got better performance and handling (it was almost like that supermodel asking you to take her out for fast food). Within four months after its debut at Geneva, the Jaguar E-Type was available for purchase in roadster and coupe variants and capable of 150 mph (although few owners could replicate the feat) from its 3.8-liter twin camshaft engine that had more than proved its worth in competition.<\/p>\n

The initial version of the car powered by the 3.8 sold briskly with 15,498 purchased in the three years following its launch. An enlarged 4.2 liter engine was introduced with the Series 1 with more torque, better brakes and a significantly improved gearbox that now featured synchromesh on all forward gears. A 2+2 variant followed in 1966 boasting rear jump seats and an available automatic transmission to go along with its greater length.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Under pressure from increasingly onerous federal regulations, Jaguar created the \u201cSeries 1\u00bd\u201d from 1967-1968 with more effective (but far less pretty) open headlights, improved dash switches and new carburetion to meet emissions standards. In total, 38,419 examples were sold through the end of the Series 1\u00bd cars when heavy-handed regulators squeezed the sexy feline even further.<\/p>\n

The Series 2 was sold from 1969 to 1971 and adopted many of the features unveiled on its immediate predecessor plus larger and higher bumpers and turn indicators. The brake lights went from delicate to garish (and moved below the rear bumper) and the mouth opening was increased in size to assist in engine cooling (helped by supplemental fans) while fragile Americans were protected by the replacement of the toggles with rocker-style dash switches. Brakes continued to improve while air conditioning and power steering were newly available from the factory. While emissions controls and added weight hampered performance the car continued to resonate with buyers (with 18,809 Series 2 cars sold).<\/p>\n

To offset the loss in performance dictated by compliance with federal regulations, Jaguar responded with a new 5.3 liter V-12 in 1971. The new engine added only 80 pounds to the car and boasted excellent acceleration, refinement and torque. What it added in these qualities, however, detracted from the essential nature of the car which grew softer and luxurious with each passing year and foretold the coming of the XJ-S in 1975.<\/p>\n

More than 50 years after its debut, the E-Type retains its visceral sensuality and the shape is as compelling now as then. The 1966 Series 1 before us is as pristine as any in the country and was subject to a complete restoration using a California-owned example as its base. As usable and iconic as the roadster remains in the mind\u2019s eye, the coupe is the shape that Sayer first penned and is the purist distillation of the form. It is at once feminine and phallic and is the embodiment of the sexually liberated decade of its birth.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The car stands low to the ground and entry requires some contortion to clear the high sills and low roof. The interior is trimmed in high-quality black leather and features all the elements that make for memorable sports cars \u2013 full instrumentation, firm seating and relative comfort given its coupe dimensions. From the start, the venerable 4.2 XK is familiar with a note that is restrained at idle and joyous at speed.\u00a0 One of the most interesting features of the XK powerplant is that as displacement increased throughout its lifespan (1949 to 1992) it grew more flexible and tractable rather than less so.<\/p>\n

The gearbox is familiar to anyone that has spent any time in British cars with its long handle and positive throws, the transmission allows for quick shifts and well-spaced ratios. The clutch pedal is firm but easy to depress and the pedals are well spaced to allow for heel and toe operation. The brakes are as good as any offered during the period and the pedal operates with servo assistance that allows for firm (rather than excessive) pressure. The braking is progressive and neither overwhelms the suspension in hard use nor fades from repeated stopping.<\/p>\n

The steering wheel is (like the rest of the car) beautiful but is somewhat heavy in traffic. At speed the effort to control the car is almost perfect and it is easy to see the gauges through the wheel and the transmission lever is easily within reach. The performance of the car remains exceptional even when compared with modern commuters that can match its statistics.<\/p>\n

The E-Type is the classic that can be driven anywhere at anytime (especially in coupe form) and rewards the driver with exceptional performance today rather than reminding us of how much has changed. The car not only keeps up with traffic but accelerates away from it and handles as well as one could hope for while riding on narrow tires with wire wheels. It never feels twitchy in transition and feels benign at the limits which most drivers will explore.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>What settles the question, however, is the view over the hood that is, perhaps, the most compelling factor presented to the enthusiast driver. While at a stop light, other drivers nod approvingly and appreciate its beauty that continues forward, despite the passage of time. There are few sports cars that everyone should own at one time in life, an MG TC, Porsche 911 and almost any Alfa Romeo come to mind, but the Jaguar E-Type should reside near the top of the list. It remains relevant today, will be tomorrow, and constantly serves as a reminder of an automotive legend whose beauty will never fade.<\/p>\n
