Got a spare $440,000 lying around?
The E-type was launched at the Geneva Motor Show in 1962. To celebrate Jag are releasing twelve E-Types, convertibles and coupes. These are not replicas but new re-built. As the New York Times says: "They are being completely rebuilt, and the engines, gauges, electrical systems and more will be modernized. Their paint jobs Flat Out Grey and Drop Everything Green, in honor of their hasty journeys to Geneva are exact recreations of the colors of the show cars. Jaguar further promises that those colors will never be used again on any Jags."
It was a late decision to show the cars and the test driver drove from Coventry to Geneva at an average speed of . . . 68mph including the ferry! (And pre motorways here or in France.) And the cost? A snip at $440,000.
