Best cars for Father's Day 2021

It’s Father’s Day on Sunday 20 June. To celebrate all the father figures in your life, you’ve still got time to pop to the shops.
You could get him a last-minute card with the obligatory naff message on it: ‘You’re beer-illiant’ (picture of a pint), ‘something about being old and ranting at the TV’ (picture of cartoon dad in pants watching the football)… or, do as I did when I was six and write him a card with ‘Happy Farther’s Day’ on it. If you’re looking for some budget-friendly gift options for your car-enthusiast dad, why not consider getting personalised number plates, car modifications or a car wrap to surprise your dad with a new look for his car. If you’re feeling super generous, or just fancy having a chat about ‘the good old days', how about our pick of the best cars for Father’s Day? There are a few classics in there, a few proper dad cars, and a couple of newer options too.

For the most dapper of dads, how about a proper classic; the iconic Jaguar E-Type. Enzo Ferrari called it ‘the most beautiful car ever made’, and you don’t want to argue with him.
What’s more, it’s the Jaguar E-Type’s 60th anniversary this year, so if you need talking points, how about start the special day by discussing this landmark? We’ve also got five more reasons the Jaguar E-type still matters for you to keep the conversation going. Discover Jaguar E-Types for sale on Auto Trader.

A classic, classic car. You might see a few of them around, but they look great. You can pick one up relatively affordable and it can be a fun project for you both to work on together.
