While the car industry is mostly driving forward with electric propulsion ahead of a ban on the sale of all new fossil-fuelled cars by 2030, the petrol-powered heart and soul of an iconic classic such as the Jaguar E-Type or Aston Martin DB5 still resonates with manufacturers as well as drivers and enthusiasts.

The experts at Jaguar Classic in Coventry, UK have restored 12 E-type 60 Collection cars that combine flawless quality and exceptional engineering know-how.
Jaguar Classic has said it unveiled its first matched pair of E-type 60 Collection cars, and revealed full specification details for the 12 expertly restored and sympathetically uprated 3.8-litre E-types built to celebrate 60 years of the iconic sports car.
The E-type made its world debut in Geneva, Switzerland on 15 March 1961. The public reaction to the lone coupé available for test drives was so strong that Jaguar rushed a second E-type, a roadster, from Coventry to Geneva overnight, according to a statement by the automaker.
