About Jaguar E-Type Series 1

The Jaguar E-Type (XK-E) was introduced at the Geneva International Motor Show in March of 1961 and served as the replacement to the XK 120 which had premiered in 1948. Enzo Ferrari called the E-Type the most beautiful car ever made, and one example lives in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
