The Jaguar E‑type has undoubtedly made its mark in motoring history. Between the years of 1961 and 1974, more than 70,000 models were produced across Series 1, Series 2 and Series 3. Its design legacy remains influential today as a recognised benchmark for sports cars by manufacturers and enthusiasts alike.
The innate racing DNA of the E‑type meets in a harmonious intersection with exquisite design, making it a profound piece of art to be recognised in its own right. Acquired in 1996, the Jaguar E‑type was one of the first ever cars honoured to enter the Museum of Modern Art’s prestigious collection on permanent display for the world to see.
Eliciting powerful appeal, the E‑type established its own reputation, finding its way to front covers, films and the fingertips of famed admirers effortlessly. Indicative of its desirability, Frank Sinatra once said “I want that car, and I want it now” upon first reveal of the car in 1961. The Jaguar E‑type struck the hearts of the rich and famous even when its price was most accessible. The launch price of the car was £2,250. The model has unsurprisingly maintained its magic throughout its trajectory and continues to compel its drivers in equal measure to its spectators.
