If you're looking for a concours trailer queen, keep scrolling.

This isn’t just another Jaguar E-Type. This is Silver Thunder — a purpose-built endurance machine and the only Jaguar E-Type in history to complete the legendary Peking to Paris Motor Challenge. More people have walked on the moon than have finished that rally in an E-Type.
