3. Jaguar E-Type
Introduced in 1961, the Jaguar E-Type was a sensation on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Despite Jaguar’s long-lasting tradition of building fine sports cars, the E-Type was years ahead of its time. It came with a superb design, four-wheel disk brakes, an independent rear suspension, and powerful straight-six engines.
The best thing was the price since the E Type had the looks, power, and performance of high-priced Italian exotics yet it cost just a fraction of the price. It stayed in production for 15 years until 1976 and selling in over 74,000 copies, most here in the USA.
