1965 Jaguar Other for sale $139,900

THE JAGJUAR E-TYPE WAS INTRODUCED TO THE PUBLIC IN 1961 AND CONTINUED IN SEVERAL VARIANTS UNTIL 1975. IT WAS INITIALLY SHOWN AS A TWO SEATER FIXED HEAD COUPE AND ALSO AS A TWO SEATER CONVERTIBLE. THE LATTER MODEL BECAME KNOWN AS A ROADSTER AND WAS BY FAR THE MOST POPULAR OF THE MODELS THAT JAGUAR MANUFACTURED AT THE TIME. INITIAL MODELS WERE POWERED BY A 3.8 LITRE DOUBLE OVERHEAD CAMSHAFT ENGINE. IN 1965 JAGUAR UPGRADED THE ENGINE TO 4.2 LITRES WITH MORE TORQUE AND ADDED OTHER IMPOVEMENTS SUCH AS A FULLY SYNCHRONISED GEARBOX, RECLINING SEATS AND AN ALTERNATOR WITH A NEGATIVE GROUND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
