Jaguar E TYPE
The Jaguar E-TYPE (XKE in North America) is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful cars ever created. Described by Enzo Ferrari as 'the most beautiful car ever made', the E-TYPE set the benchmark for sports car design in 1961 with its aerodynamic long bonnet, independent rear suspension, and monocoque body — all at less than half the price of a Ferrari at the time.

SIX BUY AND SELL TEAM • Apr 2026
Landed costs for a quality example would be ₹1.8–5+ crore. It's not a first-time buyer's car — the complexity and value at stake make it a second or third classic purchase.

Q. How practical is an E-Type for use at Indian concours and heritage events?
SIX BUY AND SELL TEAM • Apr 2026

Q. Which E-Type series is the best value for an Indian collector?
SIX BUY AND SELL TEAM • Apr 2026
