In 1961, amid all the excitement of the Jaguar E-type launch, the Daily Mail newspaper ran a competition to win one of two examples. It is difficult to appreciate now the impact of the E-type in those days. The vast majority were exported, but those few that remained in the UK would be mobbed. Classic Motor Cars are carrying out a full CMC Jaguar restoration on chassis number 24 roadster, which is one of those two Daily Mail cars.
