I paid £850 for my first one in 1972 or there about, not a nice one but it ticked a box in my life.

only because it gets towed everywhere behind a breakdown truck !

Not ever seen one towed, in fact they are rated as being more reliable than a Ford Focus, not of course that means much.

and the '61 version

The '53 has more about it.

I sometimes see, on a sunny day, a Series 3 E-Type (FHC).
It looks horrendous in comparison to the original. The glass & roof look like they've been borrowed from a greenhouse! (built for fat Americans!)

That said, we had a XKR for almost 4 years, that was rather nice!
My only complaints about it were;
- It was too luxurious
- Exhaust was too 'civilised'
- It was an automatic, but 'self-shifting' wasn't too bad (6-speed Tremec conversions are available, but cost around £8,000!!!!!)
BUT, all 3 down-sides are probably countered by the phrase "It's a Jaguar"

I've always fancied one of these

There was a life-size one built to promote the films!!!

It was in 'The Cars Of The Stars' museum in Keswick, before it closed

Built on a Bedford Coach ('Chinese 6') chassis
