Description

Very Rare Original Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Owner’s Handbook – German Edition – G/122/2

An exceptionally rare, genuine period Jaguar E-Type 3.8 owner’s handbook in German, titled Jaguar Typ “E” – Betriebsanleitung.

Published by Jaguar Cars Limited, Coventry, England, this is the early German-language edition, Publication No. G/122/2, produced for German-speaking owners of the first-generation Jaguar E-Type.

Unlike the much more commonly encountered English-language handbooks, original German editions are particularly difficult to find today.

The handbook contains the original German operating instructions, technical information, maintenance guidance and period illustrations, including the early E-Type Fixed Head Coupé.

Condition

An authentic, used original with visible signs of age and handling. The pale blue cover shows wear, discolouration and damage along the spine and upper edge. The internal pages show some age-related marks.

The photographs form part of the condition description.

Why this handbook is special

For collectors and restorers concerned with the authenticity and historical documentation of an early Jaguar E-Type 3.8, the correct period owner’s handbook is an important detail.

This German-language edition is particularly interesting for an early E-Type originally delivered to Germany or another German-speaking market.

A rare opportunity to acquire genuine Jaguar factory literature from the early years of E-Type production.
