Oct 19, 2018 · If the subject is the Jaguar E-type, the world’s most recognisable, most iconic classic car, odds-on the order would be: S1 roadster, S1 4.2 fixed-head coupé, ‘flat-floor’ S1 3.8. Three early cars? Well, is anyone outside of ‘Trump’-land really going to argue for the S3?
Nov 8, 2019 · There’s a lot of snobbery about covered headlights, and about 2+2s not looking as good – but to the average man in the street, an E-type is an E-type, and from behind the wheel, a 2+2 Series 2 is the most comfortable and practical E-type of all.

- Jaguar E-Type S1 & S2: Our Verdict
A large percentage of an E-type’s bodywork is made up of a one-piece forward hinged bonnet, which is easily damaged on the leading edge if raised on uneven ground. The bonnet is constructed from several sections bolted together and rust can start in the seams behind the chrome trim. Other areas to check for rot on a Jaguar E-type are both floor pan...
Although the E-type’s straight-six is a tough unit if serviced correctly, these engines can suffer from head gasket failure. Try to inspect the sides of the block for any recent coolant stains and signs of any mayonnaise-type gloop lurking underneath the oil filler cap, which could indicate coolant has mixed with the engine oil. Any light rattling ...
The E-type’s double wishbone front suspension and rack-and-pinion steering is mounted on the lower longitudinal rails supporting the engine, while the car’s complex rear independent rear setup is contained in a pressed steel cage bolted to the floor pan. If it’s possible, jack up each wheel in turn; the first items to check are all the bushes and b...
The good news is that every bit of hard and soft trim inside a Jaguar E-type’s cabin is available from specialist suppliers. The bad news is that a full interior re-trim for either a roadster or coupé will be a wallet bustlingly expensive exercise. Don’t dismiss a sound imported car with a tatty cabin though, as E-type prices know no bounds and any...
Since prices for Series 1 E-type are now out of most buyers’ budgets, a Series 2 is probably the best buy. These models offer the same glorious view down that long, louvered bonnet and drive the same way as a tidy Series 1.

Jan 22, 2024 · As for engines, the 8 Series Gran Coupé has a choice of two – a silky-smooth 3.0-litre six-cylinder petrol engine or a throaty 4.4-litre V8. They both offer strong performance.
G54 involves far more playtime to get to the point where you're playing the other players instead of the rules, which is the point at which both Coup & G54 start to shine. I can categorically say that I will always choose Coup over G54 if there is even a single new player at the table.
3D printing is an expensive hobby. The choice: spend a bunch of money up front to get most of the way there and have the reliability, or spend it over time and do upgrades until you've built the printer you want. That CR-10 S4 I mentioned now has a lot of money and time invested in it.
