Offered to the most demanding collector, investor, or enthusiast who simply wants to own the best! The year of 1974 was the end of the road for the Jaguar E-Type.
Perhaps the most celebrated car to carry the Jaguar name, the E-Type remained elegant, sophisticated, and sporting throughout its production run.
The Series 3 V-12 models were touted as being wonderful grand tourers, capable of cruising all day at high speed and incredibly comfortable while doing so.
Considered by many to be the quintessential British Sports Car, the Jaguar E-Type's unveiling in 1961 caused a sensation both with the press and in the public eye.
Admirers came from all walks of life; even Enzo Ferrari referred to it as the most beautiful car ever made.
Beneath its gorgeous looks was a revolutionary sports car with rack and pinion steering, fully independent suspension, and four-wheel disc brakes with inward rear rotors.
All of this was propelled by the already proven performance of the XK engine.
