tinyurl.com/6jj74ba A new version of the E-type has been shown Auto Express this week. Looks absolutely stunning. Reply to this message | Report message

There were some real photos in this month's CAR magazine - talk of it going into limited production as well - lovely looking car. Reply to this message | Report message

Jaguar is rapidly becoming my most desired marque. I simply must have one of the new XJs as soon as I can afford a second hand one (although a Phaeton is still a contender). I think it may soon become my favourite car of all time. I'm not yet ready to move the Alfasud down one peg in my affections, but it's becoming a close run thing.

I've twice had stop myself buying an XF or a new XJ - had to lock the money away and hide the key in a box buried in the garden and built a shed over it ! Reply to this message | Report message

It doesn't look too much like an E-tyype, but it does look similar to another modern car I've seen somewhere - I wonder what that was? Reply to this message | Report message

The side view looks a bit like a Ferrari Daytona to me. Reply to this message | Report message

It looks more like an E-type than that Citroen DS thing does to the original. Reply to this message | Report message

>> it does look similar to another modern car I've seen somewhere The glasshouse resembles Aston Martin from the side IMO, and the front view is a bit Bentley Continential GT-ish with those four headlamps. Can't fault the rear view though, beautiful classic Jaguar lines. I'm a big fan of modern interpretations of classic car designs such as the Dodge Challenger Chevy Camaro and Ford Mustang, as well as the the Beetle, Fiat 500 and even the MINI. I wish there were more. Reply to this message | Report message

>> >> I'm a big fan of modern interpretations of classic car designs such as the Dodge >> Challenger Chevy Camaro and Ford Mustang, .... Standing outside the local shops yesterday after picking Spamcan Junior up from school, some cool dude pulls up in a new style Camaro, bright yellow with a wide black stripe. One of a gaggle of schoolboys points at it and chants 'bumble bee' in the manner of Nelson from the Simpsons. Soon about half a dozen of his mates join in. Camaro driver doesn't look quite such a cool dude at this point. :-) Reply to this message | Report message

Looks aren't everything. The coefficient of drag of the 1969 E Type was 0.4, which is high by today's standards. www.getcarspecs.com/jaguar/1969-jaguar-e-type Reply to this message | Report message

There's a bit of the Datsun 240Zs about it in my book. Probably my favourite Japanese car. Reply to this message | Report message
