1971 Jaguar E-Type review from North America
"Get one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have been very lucky with the E Type I own. Prior to buying it, I went through mountains of research and chose carefully.
Have had very few problems.
Carbs and exhaust system needed replacing. 43,000 miles, but the car is over 30 years old.
Watch out for rust when choosing to buy.
General comments?
One of the sexiest cars alive.
The car is very reliable and a delight to drive.
On the limit, the car is a handful, but that is part of the charm of this sports car.
