Jaguar E-Type 60 Collection cars has been revealed overnight by
Jaguar Classic as it ramps up celebrations for the iconic sports car’s 60th birthday.
The
Jaguar E-Type made its global debut on 15 March 1961 at the Geneva motor show and has since gone on to become one of the most revered cars of all time.
To celebrate, Jaguar Classic has painstakingly restored and re-engineered 12 E-Types – six coupes and six convertibles – which will be sold as matching pairs.
The cars are inspired by the original E Type coupe, registration 9600 HP and convertible (rego 77 RW) that wowed the public at Geneva, resulting in over 500 orders before the end of the motor show.
That time an E-Type tried to kill me…

Jaguar’s immortal sports car hits sixty this year, but its history hasn’t always been a rosy one.
The vast, curved shape of the bonnet rises, in truly priapic fashion, to the sky as the big throttle pedal descends to the carpet beneath. Sigmund Freud would doubtless have had a field day with the styling of the Jaguar E-Type, had he lived long enough to see it. Designer Malcolm Sayer swore blind that the shape was honed in the wind-tunnel, not the amygdala, but unquestionably it was the E s suggestive shape that kick-started the whole debate about fast cars being a substitute for their owners . inadequacies.
