They look better than they drive and owning one is more hassle than it's worth, my Uncle drove his no more than 3 times in 6 years after spending 20k on an engine rebuild and other improvements.

By god is it beautiful though.

The E-type is a car you can drive, the XK is one that you can try to see how far you can go without calling AAA. My dad's had 6 E-Types through the years, lovely cars.
