E2A

Jaguar E2A er den unikke prototype fra 1960, som i sin tid var bindeled mellem racerbilen, Jaguar D-type og produktionsmodellen, den legendariske Jaguar type E, som blev lanceret i 1961. Prototypen indbragte ikke mindre end 4,5 mio dollars - med dagens kurser svarende til 22,5 mio. kr. - i 2008. Bilen har indtil da været ejet af samme familie i 40 år, og den fremtræder fuldstændig original.
