The private owners of cars on display at the Retromobile show with whom I spoke almost also found their hard-to-find vintage models by luck. You hear stories about a widow auctioning off her husbands garage-kept Mercedes collection or a 1930s model BMW suddenly appearing on EBay with the chassis and body still intact. But you can also take the easy way out and just buy a classic car, such as this Jaguar 1964 E-Type Roadster. According to the specs, the car had three owners and was redone, but retains its original design and motor. But at $105,000, its price tag approaches that of 2007 model Jaguars, such as the XK convertible.
