Another car with a 'Wolf of Wall Street' connection is for sale

Bonhams

A Jaguar E-Type used in the 2015 Martin Scorsese film "The Wolf of Wall Street" will be sold at a Bonhams collector car auction on June 5 at the Greenwich Concours de'Elegance.

In the film, the car is the first big purchase made by Leonardo DiCaprio's character, the notorious real-life Wall Street trader Jordan Belfort, after he finds some early success as a stockbroker.

The sports car, to this day considered one of the most beautiful automobiles ever designed, is in the film the reason that Donnie Azoff (Jonah Hill) approaches Belfort and asks him for a job.

Belfort would eventually replace the Jaguar with a white Ferrari Testarossa and then an ill-fated Lamborghini Countach.

The real life car is a 1962 Series I XKE - only the second year of the E-Type - with the original 3.8-liter inline six-cylinder engine still under the long hood.

Originally finished with a light tan interior and sand exterior with a black top, the car was restored by its current owner of 17 years. They also replaced the speed transmission and fitted new brakes and cooling systems.

The car is estimated to sell for $150,000 to $175,000.

This is the second car with a "Wolf of Wall Street" connection to come up for sale this year; the real life Jordan Belfort's 1991 Ferrari Testarossa was sold in Monaco back in February.
