E type is pretty, but also pretty useless as a car.

Series 1 E-type 3.8 DHC

Ferrari F355

Honda S2000 - yes I mean it

And Jag produced a coupe some time just after the XK220, I think it was to be an F type or an XK180 or something. They made a few and then decided not to take them into production. It was absolutely gorgeous though.

Google is my friend - here it is:

Welcome To XK180.COM

Some lovely cars .....BUT..... you're all wrong about the Ferraris. This is the prettiest ever:

and as far as the E-type is concerned, the 3.8 FHC is a thing of beauty, the drop head is a mess.

.....and I'd still go for the Stratos over all of them !


The 250LM is nice but nobody has put up the P4 yet! Love the Jowett too.

I'm gonna have to step in and say the 3.8 E type drop head is more curvacious and prettier compared with the 275gts well it is to me anyway.

Broadspeed Jaguar XJ5.3C, probably not the prettiest car although more than likely sounds amazing.I like the Broadspeed Capri too.I wouldn't mind a replica of the Jag with a big tuned Lister V12 in the engine bay with twin superchargers, intercooler & 4 side exit exhaust pipes each side. .I would have to strip the interior out too so it's a two seater, no sound proofing so would be wearing my helmet or blood will pour out of my ears.Oh and a roll cage so my head isn't pushed down between my shoulders if an accident occur somewhere.

The shark fin was there to aid stability and to smooth the flow of air around the drivers head when pulling 160+mph down the Mulsanne
