Jaguar E-Type expert Tim Griffin gives us the low down on what we should be asking when looking to buy an E-Type.
Do you know the key differences between the three different series? Do you prefer the roadster or the fixed head coupe? Should you go for the 3.8 or a 4.2? We discuss all these topics and more to help you find the right car.
Many thanks to all at CMC for hosting us and to Tim for sharing all the knowledge and E-Type wisdom.
