Jaguar E-Type - The Classic Roadster Car Design
The Jaguar E-Type is a car that goes by several names. You might hear it being referred to as the Jaguar XK-E or even the E-Type Jaguar by people who like to mix things up a bit. No matter the given name, the E-Type will go down in history as one of the most progressive car designs ever. Although also sold as a 2-door coupe with a hardtop roof, the 2-door roadster convertible is the classic design that car enthusiasts desire most.
The E-Type was sold from 1961 until 1974. The smooth, refined look of this car set it apart from the big and clunky American cars sold at the time. It wasn't all just show, either. The original I6 engine in these cars performed well for its time, as did the V12 engines that came along with the Series 3 models in 1971. The E-Type has been named the top sports car of the 1960's by at least one major automotive publication.
