One of the greatest post-war sports cars, Jaguar's E Type made immediate headlines on its launch in March 1961. Here was a sleek and beautiful 150mph car with a competition pedigree that could be bought for just over £2,000, almost half the cost of an Aston Martin or Ferrari. A direct descendant of the XK120 and competition C and D Type models that so dominated Fifties sports car racing, the E-Type shared its 265bhp 3.8 litre twin-cam straight-six engine with the XK150 S, mated to a Moss four speed gearbox with synchromesh on the top three ratios.
