1961 Series 1 Jaguar E-Type

[topgeartom]

At a local dealership where we bought our BM from some years ago, they have just got in this absolutely stunning 1961 E-Type. The previous owner had it as a project car, and spent nearly £50,000 on a full restoration. The car has a new Bonnet, all the wings have been redone, and the interior has had a full professional re-trim. Needless to say it is absolutely drop dead gorgeous, and looks fantastic in Carmen red.

Wow, it looks like it's brand new! Do you have any idea how much the dealership asks for it?

If this isn't a sexy car!

what a beautiful example of 60's styling 8) also great forshadowing for the styling of what would become Japans entry into the sports car market :D

Absolutely beautiful indeed.

The car is up for sale at £25,000

My dad has wanted one all his life. A few years back we had a Mk.II jag, but he always wanted an e-type. technically if we sold our xk8 we could have this straight away, but obviously there are practicality issues in there, and my dad isnt exactly one to follow his heart over his head.

Still, you can always have the odd drool every now and then! :D
