The E-type was once described as the "fastest disappearing car in the 
world, and that was before you turned on the engine" in reference to the 
fact that the E-type could rust away whilst you were watching it. In 
Jaguar's defence, BMW's from the same period were little better. Only 
the Japanese had come to grips with the corrosion problems.

My wife's S-type is around 7 years old, and no signs of rust. An early 
E-type would have needed welding by now, so definite progress there.
