We"ve seen enough classic cars with telephone number prices now to know the recipe for raking in Scrooge McDuck amounts of coin. No matter if the motor you"re flogging is rusty or worn out. It just needs to be rare, have a cool story behind it, and ideally be quite pretty. Which is why the market for the classic SsangYong Rodius hasn"t taken off just yet.Here"s something that hits the bullseye: one of the first 500 Jaguar E-Types ever produced. It"s a 3.8-litre two-seat roadster with the exposed bonnet locks, and all the numbers match. Check check and check for the tax haven fund. The slight, niggling catch is, as you might have spotted, it"s not quite in one piece. In fact, Lego kits arrive more intact than this E-Type. The 1961 Jag, which was first registered in Belgium and was then imported via Luxembourg to France back in 1975 is in need of a nut and bolt restoration. All the components are there, but the previous owner simply had them box-stored in his garage for decades. Now they"re ready to be gloriously reunited. Feeling brave?
