Since its founding in 2004, the E-type Club has gone from strength to strength and we now have members in over 50 countries..

There are several excellent Jaguar clubs but they have to cover a vast range of cars and interests from pre-war through to the current range. Naturally, they cannot concentrate on just one model...
Although these are difficult times, there are some positives. One of those is the increased use of Zoom, or the Microsoft and Google equivalents. Because most of us are now using these services, it has become part of our lives. So, ironically, in many instances the pandemic, in conjunction with Zoom, has actually brought us closer together, improving communication and interaction. In a good example of this, Erika and Julie are currently in a series of Zoom...
E-types in the News
RM Sotheby’s held its Arizona auction, which was their first live event of 2021, on 25 January. Held at the OTTO Car Club in Scottsdale, the sales, which amounted to over $35 million with a 90% sell-through rate, were led by a 1955 Jaguar D-type that sold for $6 million.

Cotswold Classic Run
I’m sure that 2020 will be a year to forget for many people, but on the other hand the few things that we did get to do should stay vividly in our memories, if only though lack of competition! Last year, the only holidays I managed were two weekends away. One was before lockdown one, in London for my mother’s 90th birthday. The second was a joyous weekend in September with my wife and E-type – the Cotswold Classic Run 2020....
Why buy an E-type?
Apart from the emotional aspects, there are a number of hard-headed reasons to buy an E-type.

XKEDATA.com is a project to help people find information about a particular car or series of cars by serial number.
This site welcomes participation from anyone interested in these cars. We aren't experts, but there is also no exclusivity to the data hosted here. You don't have to be a member to list a car.
If a site user sees a car with such-and-such car number in a classified ad that's what will be entered. It's all that's known at that point. But over time, hopefully more information will be added, corrections will be made, and at the end of the day we'll know a bit more about a particular car than we would otherwise.
