Jaguar E-Type 3.8 & 4.2 litre: The Essential Buyer's Guide

by Peter Crespin

Overview

The 6-cylinder E-type is generally regarded as the world _x0019_s most beautiful sports car. Such is the allure of this sixties icon, that many have let their heart rule their heads and ended up with a car that remained unfinished or wasn’t right for them in some way. Forty years later, the risks have multiplied hugely, since many E-types appear superficially good but hide a multitude of, usually very expensive, sins. This dedicated buyer _x0019_s guide, written by someone who had to build his own car the hard way, is packed with the dos and don _x0019_ts of selecting, viewing and thoroughly assessing any potential purchase, to make sure you enjoy your E-type ownership and avoid ending up with a dispiriting and financially ruinous money-pit.
