By definition, cars are meant to move you. But some cars can move you in more ways than one. The Jaguar E-Type is such a car. For it moves the soul as well as the body. Upon its inception in 1961, the looks, the horsepower, and the handling of the E-Type were ahead of almost any car on the road. Even Enzo Ferrari was heard to say, “That’s the most beautiful car ever made!” While marketed in North America as the Jaguar XKE, building upon success of the earlier XK 120, 140 and 150 models, the new car was officially called an E-Type, as it succeeded the Le Mans winning C type and D type cars. The new E-Type was fitted with an inline twin-overhead cam 3.8 liter six-cylinder engine, producing 265 horsepower. Top speed was 150mph with a zero to sixty time in under seven seconds! It was available in coupe or convertible formation. In 1964 a larger 4.2 engine was fitted increasing torque another 10%. A fully synchronized transmission and refined seats accompanied the revision. In 1966, a 2+2 version of the coupe was introduced, adding nine inches to the wheelbase and a higher roofline…Just enough room for half a child in the back seat. Production of the Series 1 continued to 1967, when US Federal regulations demanded change. The Series 2 Jaguar was launched in 1968, which resulted in the loss of the famous covered headlights. Other “safety changes” included bigger tail lights, side marker lights, and dash board revisions. Engine emissions were also part of the sweeping change, reducing horsepower to 246. Jaguar rolled out the Series 3 E-Type in late 1971, featuring a new 5.3 V12 engine, which made 272hp. All series 3 E-Types were fitted with the V12 and were built on the longer 2+2 chassis. But the E-type was aging out, and with the US gas embargo looming, a 12 mile per gallon sports car was not sought after by the average consumer. Thus, production of the E-Type ended in 1975. Our car is a 1968. It is recognized as a Series 1-1/2, since it was produced during a rolling changeover from the Se- ries 1 to the Series 2. We’ve all heard stories of variations in car manufacturing due to parts shortages. This car is a true example of, “the factory used up all

of their parts from one series before switching over to the new year model.” We acquired this car about twenty years ago. I was called to get the car up and running after it had sat for a few years. The owner had become ill and passed, so the son wanted to fix it up to either keep or sell. After repairs were made, the son decided to keep the car and drove it home to northern Virginia. A year later he called to ask if Carol & I were interested in buying it. We were. It’s been a great car and we’ve enjoyed many fun trips in it. And, while we consider ourselves “dog- people,” it’s fun to have one cool cat in the family!

At that time we had three motor scooters and two cars that were manufactured during between 1932 and 1992. From Arlington I had driven the 1965 Lotus to National Meets in Cumberland Maryland and in Hershey Pennsylvania. Both times Diane followed in a minivan with one of the motor scooters. After these two drives in the Lotus it was

The tour was based out of a hotel near Gettysburg Pennsylvania. Each day we would follow easy directions to various sites of interest. Some were automobile related and others were not. For example. one was a business that made decorations from gourds. Diane and I enjoyed the tour so much that we started looking for other tours to enter. We learned that another AACA tour is the Sentimental Tour. The Sentimental Tour is open to vehicles manufactured from 1928 through 1958. None of our vehicles were manufactured from 1928 through 1958. So we decided that we would try to find a vehicle that we could both enjoy and that would be eligible for the Sentimental Tour. Next I made a wish list of everything, both major and mi- 1965 Lotus super 7 nor, that we could possibly want in a tour car.

We toured the museum, visited the gift shop and had lunch at the Robin’s Nest. We then proceeded to Marty Miller's Classic Car Center a tour of cars for sale, stored cars and cars under restoration. After a pent-up season, a Fun Run was welcome: 13 cars and 36 participants proved it.
