The Series 2 E-Type coupe shows off larger taillights, side reflectors, and earless knock-offs, but remains a pretty car.
The Series 1 roadster is the original and the most desirable of E-Types, and is the car from which the Lightweight was derived.
While the E-Type did not live long enough to enjoy nine lives, it did have a healthy run from 1961 to 1975. Its final evolution was a Series 3 design, available as a roadster and 2+2, that was larger, longer, and heavier than its predecessors. The Series 3 also debuted Jaguar’s V-12 engine.
