This Jaguar doesn't just boast good looks. It also performs well. With its six-cylinder 198 kilowatt engine, it can reach top speeds of just under 240 kilometres an hour. The sports car's engine evolved from the successful Jaguar D-Type racing car. Production of the E Type stopped in September 1974. These days they're expensive collectors' items-- with the 3.8 litre Series 1 models reaching the top prices.
