With that said, we think the Jaguar E-Type has something to offer everyone. Here’s a rundown on just why this classic car has so much to offer.
Style from every corner
When the Jaguar E-Type first launched back in 1961, it was met with fierce competition from many other sports cars at that time, including the Aston Martin DB4, Ferrari 250 GT and Porsche 356. However, the E-Type was able to carve a name for itself right away, thanks to its unique style and aerodynamics.
With its sleek and lightweight design, weighing just 1315kg, the E-type immediately stood out amongst the competition, with Enzo Ferrari offering that all well-known quote. Fast forward to 2020 and the E-Type has stood the test of time, like a fine wine growing better with ages, remaining one of the most stylish classic sports cars on the market today.
E-Type upgrades and restoration
One of the great appeals of being a classic sports car enthusiast is the ability to upgrade and renovate to a better than factory state.
