The Jaguar E-Type is 50 years old this year. It was my favourite car when I was a lad. The style was amazing back then, and it still looks good today. Class is like that, it has style that doesn't date. The E-Type is a permanent exhibit in New York’s Museum of Modern Art and Enzo Ferrari stated it was “the most beautiful car in the world.” Says it all really.
Production figures I have found at wikipedia.org under Jaguar E-Type are as follows:
| Series 1 | 61-68 | 38,419 |
| Series 2 | 69-71 | 18,809 |
| Series 3 | 71-75 | 15,287 |
| E-Type | Total | 72,515 |
A fantastic car in every sense, a true classic. I think the XK does a good job of continuing the Jaguar tradition of fine sport cars.
