Jaguar E Type Original Colors

A true Jaguar E type is the one that is in fact as original as the day it rolled off the assembly line.

Through the life of an E type, it can change hands many times and with that in mind the new owner either maintained the color according to its originality, thus maintaining or increasing its historical value or changed it to his personal taste and unknowingly depreciating the car´s value.

Remember that up until 1973 a customer could order an E Type Jag in any color, in addition to the regular colors available.

At the present time the Jaguar E Type lover and/or investor knows that the more original this iconic car is as it rolled off, the more valuable it will be and therefore a greater return on the investment and of course pleasure.

It is known as the Jaguar E Type in Europe and commonly referred to as the Jaguar XKE in North America. Get more information on the Original Jaguar XKE Colors
