- 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...

These models offer the same glorious view down that long, louvered bonnet and drive the same way as a tidy Series 1. Later E-types enjoy improved seating and ventilation, which makes them more comfortable and useable but a decent one will stil...

Buying a solid example, rather than having to spend a fortune turning a bad car into a good one, is the key.
Feb 2, 2022 · To me, the 3.8 engine in an S1 revs up more happily and faster than the 4.2 in an S2 (both with tripe SU). While the higher torque of the 4.2 in an S2 is noticeable. My driving comparison is based on a 3.8 S1 with Moss box and 3.31 diff, and a 4.2 S2 with the Jag box and 3.07 diff.
