£215,000 (or US$278,000) is all it takes to own this 1961 Jaguar E-Type. The classic in question, Chassis 875407, was the 407th left-hand-drive droptop to roll off the production line in 1961 and boasts an array of original features to make the collector in you swoon. She sports a heritage-accurate Opalescent Gunmetal exterior with a matching French Grey bonnet and bright red interior, along with a shine that only comes from a meticulous restoration. Sometimes you just got to do the right thing and pay the man. I saw one of these in a foreign car showroom when I was in l’Ecole Militaire and it changed my life.
