from auction catalog:
Offered here from the Chester Harwood collection of fine cars is a stunning example of the E-Type, a Series 1.5 finished in Pale Primrose. With just 29,000 miles since new this Jaguar is an excellent representation of the E-Type. It was just refinished in its factory color and looks splendid. It also rides on a set of factory wire wheels and being a series 1.5, it retains the most beautiful features of the series 1 which include the entire series 1 nose with the smaller moth and smaller headlight openings, the series 1 signal lights and the series 1 style tailights. The series 1.5 is essentially still a series 1 on the outside. As a transitional model, it also features some of the unique characteristics that were only found on the series 2 XKEs. This includes open headlamps and redesigned dashboard toggle switches. Carburation was also changed to the series 2 style twin Zenith-Strombergs and twin fans were added for better engine cooling. Power for this XKE comes from its race proven twin cam 4.2 liter inline six rated at 246 horsepower. The carburetors on this Series 1.5 were also recently upgraded with adjustable high-speed jets for easy maintenance and reliability. The engine compartment of this Series 1.5 is nicely detailed and is ready for the strictest of concours judging. On the inside this E-Type is a true driver's environment that features the classic sports car look and feel. The interior has also been cosmetically refreshed and all upholstery, door panels, carpet, dashboard, and interior trim are in like-new condition. This Series 1.5 has had just two owners from new and the second owner held the car for 42 years. In that time it was driven sparingly and well cared for.
