This absolutely pristine Jaguar E-Type was out for one of the cruise nights this summer in Detroit, MI. The E-type was deemed “the most beautiful car in the world” by many in its day, and you can really see why when looking at this car. I was also thrilled to have the chance to shoot it with the hood open. There is a mechanic elegance about how it sits with the hood up that is nothing short of seductive for a gear head. This is basically as close as cars get to pornography folks, any more than this and I would have to flag this post as NSFW. Enjoy the gallery of this Jag among Jaaags.

When this car first came out my friend’s father traded-in his Aston Martin DB4 and bought a matching pair of E-types for his wife and himself – now that’s what I call style!
Unapologetic plug here; my friend rebuilds classic car engines to impeccable standards, and specialises in Jags. He and I rebuilt a totally seized straight 6 Jag engine, and produced a DIY DVD (http://alturl.com/42pb2) of the whole project. Would make a great Christmas gift for a petrol head.

I’ve seen many Series 1 E-Types but not that many in black. This probably the finest example I’ve seen in this colour. Achingly desirable. Impossibly beautiful. Thank you sharing.

This car was actually dark blue. If u look closely you will see it. The lighting that day made it hard to pick up.
