The 6-cylinder E-type is generally regarded as the world _x0019_s most beautiful sports car.

This dedicated buyer _x0019_s guide, written by someone who had to build his own car the hard way, is packed with the dos and don _x0019_ts of selecting, viewing and thoroughly assessing any potential purchase, to make sure you enjoy your E-type ownership and avoid ending up with a dispiriting and financially ruinous money-pit.
