E Type an Automotive Icon
The impact of the E-Type was truly significant, not only for Jaguar but for the entire automotive industry. It was one of the most iconic and influential cars of the 20th century, and it continues to be celebrated and admired by car enthusiasts and collectors around the world.
First introduced to the public by Sir William Lyons at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1961, it caused a sensation. Its sleek, aerodynamic design and impressive performance capabilities made it an instant hit with car enthusiasts and the public alike.
Originally Jaguar only planned to produce just 250 E-Types, but such was the demand for the car, they quickly had to increase production to keep up. They even had to lay a new track at their factory in order to accommodate the increased production. By the time production ended in 1975, over 72,000 E-Types had been produced and there is estimated 38,000 known to have survived.
