Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to digitally present this 1964 Jaguar E-Type (XKE) Series 1.
Few cars in automotive history command the respect and admiration of the Jaguar E-Type, and this particular example stands out for its remarkable originality and provenance. Finished in a timeless blue exterior, this E-Type represents the purest expression of Jaguar's 1960s design and engineering brilliance.
This is a two-owner vehicle, cherished and preserved through the decades rather than over-restored or heavily modified. The paint remains original, showing light patina and age-appropriate relic that speak to its authenticity and history. Rather than hiding its past, this car proudly wears it-serving as a rolling testament to six decades of careful stewardship.
Under the long, sculpted bonnet lies the legendary 3.8-liter inline six-cylinder engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. The car remains largely original mechanically, with only a carburetor modification made for improved drivability. The result is an authentic driving experience that retains the charm and character that made the Series 1 E-Type an icon of its era.
Inside, the classic leather interior and wood-rim steering wheel showcase the craftsmanship that defined Jaguar's approach to luxury performance. The view down the long, elegant bonnet remains one of the most recognizable and romantic in motoring history.
Highlights include:
-Two-owner vehicle with documented provenance
-Original paint in blue, showing honest patina and age
-3.8L inline six-cylinder engine

Cars like this 1964 Jaguar E-Type are becoming increasingly difficult to find in such authentic, unrestored condition. It's a time capsule of British design excellence - a car that embodies grace, power, and the enduring soul of motoring history.
