1966 Jaguar E-Type Frua Coupe<\/h1>\n

In 1961, Sir Williams Lyons released a ‘cornerstone’ product which would be the most exciting Jaguar since the XK120. First previewed at the Parc des Eaux Vives, and later launched at the Geneva Auto Show, the breathtaking E-Type was highly desired among the press. The car’s styling, clearly influenced by Jaguar’s motor sport products, combined with sporting performance and an affordable price to give the E-Type huge appeal. It became Jaguar’s leading product, with almost 5000 examples being made each year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Frua’s Jaguar<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Pietro Frua was one of Italy’s leading auto designers, creating prototypes and production vehicles for companies such as Fiat, Maserati and Glas. When John Coombs, a Jaguar dealer and racehorse owner, approached Frua to make a unique car, the E-Type was an obvious choice.<\/p>\n

Frua worked on giving a 1965 fixed-head coupe, chassis 1E 21041, his unmistakable lines. Most of his modifications were made to the front nose and rear, leaving the rest of the car as Malcolm Sayer originally designed it. The nose of 1E 21041 was shortened by ten inches and given a treatment similar to the Alfa Romeo Duetto Spider. Accommodating the new front end was a scoop replacing the bulge normally found on the hood. To cope with the additional frontal air flow, the wheel arches were opened to release the extra air.<\/p>\n

Like the front, the rear of the car was also shortened substantially, resulting in a length that was twenty inches shorter than the original. Frua also increased visibility with a larger rear window.<\/p>\n

In the end, the E-Type was unsatisfactory to John Coombs who wanted a more radical design. Frua tried to mend the situation, but other projects demanded the much needed time. Coombs, not happy with the results, had his own workers alter the design and later had Italsuisse of Switzerland, which worked with Frua, to create new front and rear bumpers.<\/p>\n

After modifications, the car was shown at the 1966 Earls Court Motor Show. It was then sold to Roy MacCulloch and registered as KPH 4C which it still bears today. 1E 21041 has been offered for auction twice, in 2000 and 2003, but has failed to sell at an estimate price of 35.000 to 45.000 euros.<\/p>\n

Auction Sales History<\/h3>\n

\"1966<\/a>
\n1966 Jaguar E-Type Frua Coupe<\/a> – sold for \u20ac56,925<\/b> The unique motor car offered here was the brainchild of John Coombs. In 1965, he commissioned Frua to re-design a red FHC E-Type (1E21041). His engineers enhanced performance by polishing the engine ports, fitting a Continental back axle ratio, adding wider stove enameled wheels, fitting a lightweight flywheel and improving the suspension. Then the car was shipped to Turin based designer Pietro Frua to modify the body. Among other projects, Frua was responsible for Maserati\u2019s A6G and 3500 GT, the unique BMW 3000 of 1967 and various Monteverdis. The end result was unmistakably recognisable as an E-Type, and Coombs planned to market the Frua E-Type as a special model.\u00a0Auction Source: <\/b>2009 RM Auctions’ Automobiles of London<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

He's on a first-name basis with his local Porsche dealership staff and considers the Porsche 911 to be his spirit animal. Ask him about the weather, and he'll tell you how the Porsche 911 handles in the rain. Mention your vacation plans, and he'll explain the best scenic routes to drive a Porsche. In short, Pete's life is a high-speed adventure with Porsche as the co-pilot.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.nickdellis.com\/","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/nick.dellis.3","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dellisn\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/1nickdellis\/"],"url":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/author\/caradmin\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49337","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49337"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49337\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/49345"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49337"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
