The TR6 went from a GB£4000 (AU$7547 ) car in 1969 to the lofty heights of GB£20-25,000 ( AU$ 37,000-47,000 ) in 2014 for a really immaculate example, and even more for an extremely low-mileage and original rust free car with Full Service History, whereas the humble, yet lovely Stag only rose to approximately GB£4500.

The E-Type had no wood features to speak of on the inside, and of course this was remedied with the full leather interior of the XJS that had wood grain dash segments and door cappings.
