The jaguar e-type is one of the most famous cars in the world. It has been the subject of many a film, TV advert and car magazine feature, and for good reason. It’s an iconic car that stands for performance, style and engineering excellence.

The E-type was a breakthrough in Jaguar’s design, and has stood the test of time – it’s the first of the brand’s cars that can be classified as classic. It was a major departure from the earlier XK models, and the styling was influenced by the D-Type racer and the prototype entered at Le Mans in 1960.

It’s a true Grand Tourer and offers all the luxury features you would expect in a modern day sports car. The seats are comfortable, the steering is precise and the handling is very good.

The Jaguar E-Type: From Concept to Production

But despite all that, the E-type was never quite the right car for the average motorist. American buyers, in particular, demanded more comfort and air conditioning, even at the expense of performance.

During its life, the E-type has suffered from a series of industrial disputes, which paralysed production for most of 1961 and 1962. Ultimately, however, production managed to ramp up to 150 cars per week.

The E-type is a highly efficient vehicle, with low emissions and fuel consumption. It’s also a great deal of fun to drive. It’s the perfect companion for a weekend drive with friends, and an enjoyable way to travel in comfort on holiday. But if you’re looking for a reliable and well-performing E-type, it’s vital to find a specialist for its maintenance.
