A rare, genuine period Jaguar E-Type 3.8 owner’s handbook in Italian, titled Jaguar Tipo E – Manuale di Istruzione per l’Uso, Manutenzione e Servizio.
Published by Jaguar Cars Limited, Coventry, England, this is the original Italian-language edition, Publication No. E/122/2, produced for Italian-speaking owners of the early Jaguar E-Type.
Unlike the commonly available English-language handbooks, original Italian editions are considerably harder to find today.
The handbook contains the original operating instructions, maintenance and servicing information, technical guidance and period illustrations of the early 3.8-litre E-Type, including the Open Two Seater.
Condition
A very well-preserved original example, particularly considering its age. The distinctive red cover remains attractive, with minor signs of handling and age. The internal pages appear exceptionally clean in the photographs, with clear printing and well-preserved illustrations.
Why this handbook is special
Original factory literature forms an important part of a Jaguar E-Type’s history and documentation.
This Italian-language edition is particularly interesting for owners of early E-Types originally supplied to Italy, collectors of Jaguar factory publications and enthusiasts seeking to complete a period-correct documentation set.
A genuine piece of early Jaguar E-Type history, not a modern reproduction.
