Jaguar E-Type Black 1:18

The Jaguar E-Type is a sports car built by British carmaker Jaguar in the 1960s and 1970s. Presented at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, it was the successor to the XK series. Production ran from 1961 to 1975, with three models, three series and two limited editions. The E-Type, reminiscent of the Jaguar D-Type, was a very modern design for its time. It was designed by the aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer, under the supervision of William Lyons. Numerous developments and modifications were made throughout the model's life, to improve performance, safety and comfort. One of the major changes was the abandonment of the in-line six-cylinder engine in 1971 in favour of a new Jaguar V12 engine.
