(Quote from "ClassicCar Magazine)"The General Big Shift in Ferrari and Aston Values has had a Knock-on Effect on the Only Other Viable Classic Supercar----the E-Type”------ Today's E-Type buyers want to use their cars, taking in continental tours or competitive navigational rallies, which iswhy the 4.2 liter XK-engined SR I has risen to the top of the most-wanted list.When Jaguar launched the E-Type three years earlier it had a less torquey 3.8 liter XK engine and a four-speed Moss gearbox, and it's the latter that puts most people off on the 3.8 liter cars.--------Good SR I 4.2 liter E-types have forged ahead in demand

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The E-type Jaguar...known to Americans as the XKE,needs no introduction. IfEnzo Ferrari, a highly competitive man to say the least, declared it "the most beautiful car ever made”,that pretty much sets the ceiling in terms of praise ------ 50+ years later the E-type continues to be celebrated andhold its place in history.

The E-typewas introduced to the automotive world in 1961after years of speculation. The brainchild of Williams Lyons and a passionate team of advisors and designers, it was aptly named E-type, as it was a clear descendent from the accomplished C and D-Types that had been dominating racetracks. Jaguar took what it learned on the track and applied it to the E-type.The monocoque passenger compartment, tube framed engine bay and tilting hood clearly came from the D-Type. When the E-type came out it exhibited 265bhp at 5,500rmp, a 3,781cc double overhead camshaft inline six-cylinder engine, three carburetors, four-speed manual gearbox, independent front and rear suspension, four-wheel Dunlop disc brakes with rear discs fitted next to the differential to reduce unsprung weight, and importantly, it has a fully independent suspension for all four wheels.

And as stated above thelater 4.2 liter SR I E-type'semploy all of the features most commonly desired by collectors / investors.

In addition to being an engineering stroke of brilliance,the E-type was one of the most attractive, sensuous and evocative designs ever to grace an automobile chassis-as quoted by one automotive critic "sex on wheels”. As witnessed in numerous surveys throughout the years, including a survey done by "The Daily Telegraph”, the E-type consistently comes out on top as the most beautiful car ever built. The E-type's design is an artful blend of race car and show car, not since the introduction of the XK 120 at the London show of 1948 had any sports car produced such a stir or so much favorable comment.

The E-type was also one of the fastest production cars on the road in 1961 at close to 160 miles per hour and held that record for many years to come.It's no wonder that the E-type Jaguar has become one of the most desireable Classic Car Investments today.

THE VALUE

#1- Concours - $309,000.00 USD

I don't think anyone can dispute that this car is a solid #1.5 - 2.0; it fits Hagerty's description of a #2 car fairly well but its condition is slightly above level #2; especially due to the fact that much of the restoration was recently completed. This car falls more in the range of a #1.5 level-----which is above $225,000.00 USD in value.
