Jaguar E-type är en Jaguar-modell tillverkad 1961-1974 som har kommit att bli en klassiker bland sportbilar, särskilt i varianten som öppen bil. Av många anses modellen tillhöra de vackraste sportbilar som byggts. Modellen lanserades som en förhållandevis billig sportbil, i förhållande till sina prestanda. Konceptet tvåsitsig, bakhjulsdriven, liten och lätt kombinerat med en jättemotor på mellan 3.8 liter (rak sexa med trippel förgasare) och upp till 5,3 liters V12 gick hem både på racingbanor världen över och på gatorna, då främst hos kändisar och få andra som kunde ha råd med detta "vrålåk". Tillverkades med regelbundna uppdateringar mellan åren 1961 och 1975. Cirka 70 000 bilar har tillverkats.

Modell 3.8 med XK-motor, introducerade i mars 1961 och tillverkades fram till 1964, hade för den tiden imponerande hastighet på 240 km/h. Modell 4.2, med rak sexa (1964-1968) fanns som tvåsitsig cabriolet, som en Coupé (Fixed Head Coupé) och som en "2+2" en Coupé med ett litet baksäte . En unik detalj på 3.8 och 4.2 modellerna var de tre vindrutetorkarna, på grund av den breda och låga rutan.

the Jaguar E-Type (UK) or XK-E (US) is a British automobile, manufactured by Jaguar between 1961 and 1974. Its combination of good looks, high performance, and competitive pricing resulted in a great success for Jaguar, with more than 70,000 E-Types being sold over its lifespan, and became an icon of 1960s motoring. In March 2008, the Jaguar E-Type ranked first in Daily Telegraph list of the "100 ...most beautiful cars" of all time.[2] In 2004, Sports Car International magazine placed the E-Type at number one on their list of Top Sports Cars of 1960's.

The Series 1 was introduced in March 1961, using the triple SU carburetted 3.8 litre 6-cylinder Jaguar XK6 engine from the XK150S. The first 500 cars built had flat floors and external hood (bonnet) latches. These cars are rare and more valuable. After that, the floors were dished to provide more leg room and the twin hood latches moved to inside the car. The 3.8 litre engine was increased to 4.2 litres in late 1964.
All E-Types featured independent coil spring rear suspension with torsion bar front ends, and four wheel disc brakes, in-board at the rear, all were power-assisted. Jaguar was one of the first auto manufacturer to equip cars with disc brakes as standard from the XK150 in 1958.
The Series 1 can be recognised by glass covered headlights (up to 1967), small "mouth" opening at the front, signal lights and tail-lights above bumpers and exhaust tips under the licence plate in the rear.
3.8 litre cars have leather-upholstered bucket seats, an aluminium-trimmed centre instrument panel and console (changed to vinyl and leather in 1963), and a 4-speed gearbox that lacks synchromesh for 1st gear ("Moss box"). 4.2 litre cars have more comfortable seats, improved brakes and electrical systems, and an all-synchromesh 4-speed gearbox. 4.2 litre cars also have a badge on the boot proclaiming "Jaguar 4.2 Litre E-Type" (3.8 cars have a simple "Jaguar" badge). Optional extras included Chrome Spoked wheels and a detachable hard top for the Open Two Seater.

15,490 3.8s, 1961-1964 were made. 450 were made of Jaguar E-Type Right handed drive 1962 FHC and British Racing Green only 200
