Classic E-Type Jaguar found in a barn could fetch £60,000 (though after 30 years it might need a tune-up)

What a pity it's not a roadster, I never did like the shape of the coupe so much.

Series 1 Roadsters fetch around £150.000+, I love the E Type, nowadays they seem to be Marmite, but I believe they are the most beautiful car that has ever been built.

I used to have a manual v12 2+2 old English white series 3 E type and I sold when I moved to my present house as the garage wasn't big enough ! Sold it for 7.5k with a genuine 40k miles BIG mistake !!

That will need a bit of polishing

Fully restored and the car will look superb!

I was at one of the JLR site this week and they had some of their Heritage cars in the car park left from an event

D Type. 2 XK150s, One of the first E Type and one of the first V12 E type, XJ Coupe V12 all wth 20 k or less. It was a pleasure to look at them and how small they are next to the current cars.

That's good to see, the E Type is one of my all time favorites and I love to see them racing. Like the Zed, they are a beautiful car and should be used as they were meant to be.

This one is a Lister from Le Mans 63 I think. Un-silenced they are something to enjoy.

I adore cars from that era but could never love the E-type. It's just not proportioned right. Sorry........i await back lash!

Sorry........i await back lash!

Its because you are a daft Polak.....
The roadster was always going to look better than the coupe, but, I love them both.....

I'm sorry mate I just don't get it at all. A huge over kill bonnet with a tiny bubble stuck on one end. It's just wrong, my little Dutch munchkin
