New E-type Jag. What's your true feeling?
After veiwing, and posting in, the "Ugly Cars" thread, I started thinking about what, to me, is the most beautiful car. Ever. Since I was 5 years old, I've had a soft spot-besides my head-for the E-type. Classic. Sensuous. Lithe...perfect.
Up 'til now:

I saw this on the latest Top Gear and fell in love all over again.
I may have a Crossfire, but I would have to go for this. It's like being married to my wife. I'll always covet Raquel Welch.
Just don't tell Tina! I hope she would understand.
Like I hope you folks will understand.
What's your favorite looker? Car, I mean!

Still, my favorite car overall will have to remain the Lotus Esprit. Pre 1989, white with Julia Roberts at the wheel.
Jus sayin'

My wife had a V-12 E-type, while I was driving an LT-1 Vette...back in the 70's...weren't married then... I use to sneak up on her and harrass from time to time...cool looking car, but always had engine problems...I wished she would have kept it though....I could have paid a few college tuitions with it...

Self induced spontaneous combustion.
For all it's smooth torque the 12 was heavy and iduced a terrible understeer. Plus no manul option.
I always lliked the six. Far more nimble. And much easier to work on.
Early 80's my business partner had a slew of them. Always under restoration. I got to work on them and drive them. The sixes were the best.
He and his son still do it. E-types and and XJS; exclusively Jags.

i always thought the 1st gen e-type was to the auto world like marilyn monroe was to men. top that...err something along those lines. and you know what? both were very similar. (with a respectful nod to joltin joe's last words and malcolm sayer's pen).

I have always loved the E type and this one is the best ever. The closest I ever got was a V12 XJS. Here are some more pictures of the Eagle Speedster.
