There are plenty of scenes in The Love Bug such as the Mexican where you can see a bunch of junk cars (and a few of Disneys other movie cars) so I wouldn't doubt that the E-type was already a wreck.

When Herbie is smashing into the car, it is in fact a real Jaguar E type (I don't know of that car ever being produced in kit form). At the time the movie was made, old sports cars were just used cars and not the collector items they are today. The Jag I am not 100% on if it was wrecked before hand, but I do have photos in my collection of both the Lamborghini and the Jag. The Jag pics actually show the car being constructed for the movie, so what ever it started like, it was made to look worse and then painted.
