Few cars have made a greater impression on the public than the Jaguar E -Type. Revealed in 1961 as the successor to the famous DType, the E -Type combined sleek and graceful lines with exhilarating 150-mile-perhour performance, nimble handling, and a comfortable ride. The result was an instant sensation both in Europe and the United States. Subsequent refinements guided the car through a highly successful production run that lasted into the mid-1970s. In the decades since, the legendary E -Type has only grown in stature, becoming one of the most coveted collector sports cars from the 1960s.

Collector's Originality Guide: Jaguar E-Type draws from factory records and the accumulated knowledge of respected Jaguar restorers, author Philip Porter and photographer Tim Andrew, to provide an expert resource for restoring a Jaguar E -Type to its original spec. More than 160 photographs cover every inch of 12 specially selected cars in either remarkable original condition or restored with careful attention to originality. This is the definitive guide for any E-type owner, restorer, or enthusiast.
