The document discusses the author's 1963 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 coupe. It describes the car as swift, stylish, and sensuous. It was originally delivered to a commander in the US Navy. The author discusses upgrades he has made, like changing the wheels and solving pinging by changing the pistons. He emphasizes that the upgrades were done to improve performance but maintain the original character of the car. Overall, the author expresses his deep passion and enthusiasm for his E-Type.
Cars with designs that are considered so timeless that they have become icons in automotive design. It’s not often that we get cars like these with sleek silhouettes and contours that seemed to have been penned by geniuses. Thankfully there have been a few of them over the years. Here is a small selection of these design classics in no particular order.
From the movies to real-life, you can't help but recognize some of the most bad ass, unique, head-turning cars out there. Whether it's the bat-mobile's ability to jump buildings and crush other cars, or the Delorean's ability to go back to the future, we wish some of these movie cars were real.
But, then we have Lamborghini, Maybach, Bugatti, and Mustangs to keep us just as satisfied in real life.

Mike Savage, a New Canaan, CT resident, has enjoyed great business success in life. As the founder and CEO of a multi-million dollar virtual accounting firm, Savage knows how to get the best out of a team. Savage recognized early on in his career that small businesses could benefit from the same big four level of service when it came to their accounting practices. It was in that spirit that he created 1-800 Accountants. The business model was a clear focus on eliminating complicated bookkeeping and tax preparation stress for small business owners. In doing so, 1-800 Accountant stands today as one of the largest, small business accounting firms in the nation with over 200,000 businesses as clients. Now, he’s turning his attention to philanthropy. For years New Canaan’s Michael Savage and his wife Sandra have been helping Honduran children and families suffering in poverty by donating clothes, bedding, books and other necessities to families in need of help and a kind heart. To that end, Savage has formed a foundation to raise awareness about the need to feed and clothe children in Honduras. His non-profit organization is called the Savage Rivera Foundation.

1. I
36 May/Jun 2006
If I were writing ad copy for the E-type, as I once did for
Jaguar, this would have been my summation statement for
that automotive icon: Swift…..Stylish……Sensuous.
Swift: Certainly with better than one horsepower per
cubic from 3.8 liters, the Series 1 produces 265 bhp, with a
tall rear axle ratio, it’s good for 150 mph.
Stylish: Absolutely from its announcement (in 1961
to the present), if you arrive in an E-type you are noticed.
Heads nod, smiles appear, and no one ever asks to see
your invitation. The E-type is your calling card in all
social circles.
Sensuous: The silhouette, the lines, they work from any
angle, in particular from above so you can absorb all of its
marvelous curves.
Growing up in Chicago during the muscle car era, I was
initially taken in by the sheer power of those big block
brutes — until I went to the June Sprints at Elkhart Lake to
see sports cars compete. Like so many I fell for the E-type
at first sight. It was not only the car but also the advertising
that got to me. The E-type owner was someone to emulate;
he was cultured, dashing and attracted gorgeous women. All
this and a price thousands below the competition said
“Smart Money.”
Finally in 1991, after assembling my own smart money
restoring and reselling a number of XJ6s and E-types, I
came across the 1963 Series 1 coupe you see here. The car
was originally a European delivery to a man who would
subsequently become the Commander of the Naval Air
Station near San Diego. The car, in magnificent condition
with a straight body, excellent paint and original seats, still
had the original silver painted wire wheels that were stan-
dard in the UK.
THE R.RATED CATJAMES GROTH shares
his enthusiasm for his
Jaguar Series I E-type
Our hobby is full of men
who have changed the
perception of our world,
but few have shocked it
so profoundly as often
as Bill Heynes and
William Lyons. Consider
the astonishment created
by the rakish SS cars
especially the SS 100, the
XK 120 and the C- and
D-types, then the breath-
taking E-type thrilled the
knowing, shocked the
uninitiated and realigned
performance and value.

Look out over the E-type bonnet. First you notice its
length and then the glorious curves accented by the power
bulge running the length of the nose. Sitting behind the
wheel, you may think of an aircraft cockpit, perhaps influ-
enced by Jaguar’s role in World War Two producing aircraft
parts and repairing planes.
Lifting the bonnet of a Series 1 reveals one of the best
looking motors produced, featuring polished cam covers and
triple SU carburetors. The clamshell bonnet makes access to
all the major components easy. But it can take up to the bet-
ter part of a day to refit one, since it represents the entire
front end on an E-type. When the fit is proper it should hold
itself up in place without the support of your hand regard-
less of position.
Personally, I believe in upgrading collectable cars that
are going to be regularly street driven, but in a manner that
does not show or dramatically change the character of the
car. I changed out the wheels for a set of half-inch wider
chrome Dayton’s in the style of the Dunlop originals. The
car’s pinging was finally solved by changing the O.E.M. 9:1
pistons to the optional 8:1’s with the skilled help of a fellow
Jaguar Club member.
Other upgrades that I have made include changing from a
generator to an alternator and adding an electronic ignition
system. Additionally I added new front six-way adjustable
shocks out of billet aluminum as these better cope with the
heavy front nose and improve handling. I also got tired of
the enamel cracking off the manifold and had it hot-jet coat-
ed. It looks appropriate and, if marketing information is cor-
rect, the process may help keep the car running cooler. The
two-blade propeller fan has been replaced with a multi-
blade one. To help keep the motor cool, Jaguar placed two

sets of beautiful louvers in the bonnet, and yes these are
functional and necessary.
The brakes on the early E-types are adequate. But there
are excellent upgrades available at moderate prices and that
will be the next upgrade for my 3.8. I intend to stay with
solid rotors, rather than the drilled ones, to maintain the
character of the original.
A Series 1 car is very mechanical feeling and sounding.
The 1961 through 1964 3.8-liter cars are less user friendly
due to the Moss gearbox with a non-syncro first gear. One
develops a knack for shifting them, by moving the shifter
towards second while at rest in order to let the bits align
before selecting first. These cars are easy to identify com-
pared to their brethren due to their high-pitched whine in
low gear. They don’t particularly like city driving as they
lurch, longing for revs on the open road where they are the
most exhilarating after 2,500 rpm in second and third gears.
There is sheer excitement driving them on the open road.
If one ever passed you at speed, there was no mistaking the
snarl of the straight-six exhaust note. From inside, accelera-
tion is visceral, primal and addictive; once experienced it is
always etched in one’s mind.
An E-type FHC (fixed head coupe) also passes the per-
sonal standard by which I measure the usefulness of a sports
or GT car. That standard is its ability to carry a lady and
myself from Malibu to Monterey for a weekend in comfort
and style. Marvelous as the various mid-engine exotics are,
unless you are shipping your luggage ahead, don’t expect
your lady to be in a good mood for a weekend at Pebble
when she is living out of one small suitcase.
The spiritual successor to the E-type is the new XK, and
Jaguar’s new ad campaign focuses on one word, gorgeous.
Gorgeous is also a word used for decades to describe most
Jaguars and in particular the early versions of the E-type.
The New York Museum of Modern Art has one as part of
the permanent collection. So far I have neglected to use one
favorite British term when referring to anything outstanding
and British. Brilliant. Brilliant. There, I’ve said it.
The E-type’s interior is more
sports car than GT in terms
of luxurious appointments,
but it is roomy and includes
a remarkable amount of
stowage. Its seats, in fact,
while not opulent are very
comfortable indeed.
The rear hatch makes it
a perfect traveler for two
with a week’s-worth of
useful luggage.
