The e-type jaguar is one of the most stunning cars ever built and it’s no wonder that so many people dream about owning one. But as with any classic car, it’s important to approach buying an e-type jaguar with caution.

When the e-type first arrived in 1961 it was instantly hailed as “The most beautiful car ever made.” The design of the E-type was based on the three-time Le Mans winning D-types. But rather than a race-inspired car, it was a road-going sports car designed by Sir William Lyons and Jaguar’s team of engineers.

Initially, the E-type was a two-seater coupe. However, in 1964 the car got a larger 4.2 litre engine. This gave it more torque, which means it was easier to drive in modern traffic without grinding the gears.

In addition, Jaguar improved the cooling system and redesigned the headlights to meet new US regulations. This added a level of sophistication to the design that some people found lacking in earlier models.

Another major change was the introduction of power steering. This was available as an optional extra for the Series 1 and 2 models.

There were also a number of trim changes over the years. These include a fixed head coupe (AKA 2+2 in technical terms) which was produced in smaller numbers than the regular coupes and with a longer wheelbase and wider track, giving it a more grand tourer feel.

All these developments meant that the E-type was more than just a good looking sports car: it was also an excellent driving car that could take you anywhere. It was a car that was not only incredibly well made but remarkably sophisticated for its time.
