1962 Jaguar E Type | Shepherdswell with Coldred, Kent

A 1962 Jaguar E Type, the long-bonnet British sports car that Sports Car International ranked first among 1960s sports cars in 2004. It is known for its low, sweeping body and glass-covered headlamps, and for independent suspension at both ends that gave it a composed ride as well as speed. This car is grey with a red interior, a pairing that lets the long bonnet read cleanly on camera while the cabin adds a warm contrast. It has the 3.8-litre straight-six of the early Series 1 cars and two seats, and its condition is excellent. Advertising, photography and fashion and editorial shoots make use of that long, low profile, which fills a frame and gives a stylist a strong line to work with. Film, TV and music video productions set in the 1960s get a period sports car in a quiet colour that sits easily against a set. Events, weddings and personal hires suit it too. The car is based in Shepherdswell with Coldred, Kent.
