One of the great motoring icons of the last century, Jaguar’s E-Type is a car that has always inspired loyalty and devotion.
Born out of the fabulous D-type racer, the newcomer soon acquired a strong competition heritage of its own (as witnessed by Briggs Cunningham and Roy Salvadori’s strong drive to fourth overall in the 1962 Le Mans 24 Hours).
Faster and more glamorous than virtually all its production rivals, it put many so-called ‘sports cars’ to shame at its 1961 Geneva Motor Show launch.
