The Correct name is: Jaguar E-Type.



And it is a Jaguar E-Type Convertible.

Originally the site was in french so lots of cars were entered with their french name, like the E-Type which is called "Type E".

In North America the E-type was infact sold as the XK-E

It's a series 1 E-type.
Most likely a 4.2 due to the seats, which would make it a late 64 to early 67.

Very poor condition for a 4 to 5 year old car.

One thing I never understood about this really remarkable movie was the explosion in the Jaguar (shown in the fourth of the smaller pics)before the car leaves the road.

Supposed to simulate a tire blowing, I believe.

Always looked like a hell of a dangerous stunt, I've never been sure if there was a stuntman or just a dummy in the car when it goes over, surely no one would be crazy enough to flip a convertible into a river... would they?

Anyone know the history of this E-type (Always upper case E, lower case t) and how it came to be in the film?

I don't think it had a stuntman. This is really dangerous. A convertible flipping over and crashing on its hood twice... almost impossible that anyone could survive. (but in the movie the driver survives without a scratch) :wow:

It was British elegance VS. Detroit Muscle- and it went sour for the Foreigner!

I love the history that this car exudes. You can tell from the damage and overall distressed look of the vehicle that this guy likely challenges motorists regularly; I wonder how many he's run off the road only to be beaten by, of all things, a vehicle literally called "challenger".
