British Royal Mail’s postal tribute to the Jaguar E-Type

The Jaguar E-Type a.k.a the XK-E would feature on 2013 postage stamps revealed by U.K’s Royal Mail Postal Service as a tribute to British Automotive Legends.

An icon- not only for Jaguar but in automotive history, the E-type was deservedly conferred upon with the title of “100 most beautiful cars of all times” by “The Daily Telegraph”. The E-Type’s then stunning mix of  style and performance had aficionados chasing it down just for a glimpse.

And who could forget Jeremy Clarkson taking the car for a 20,000 miles spin around Europe in the BBC documentary “Meet the neighbours”? Where impressing a controversial journalist like Mr. Clarkson was a near impossible task on the planet, the E-Type ended up garnering admiration.

We believe for this reason alone, the E-Type definitely deserves a postal tribute. The stamps would be pressed into service beginning August this year.

    That was the biggest laugh for me Deepak bhai.. Clarkson will go to ends of the world to boast about a British automobile..
    Agreed he even disrespect's them a lot but his love for anything British will always remain soaring above everything else (not saying that this isn't a good car though)
