That's funny to hear because I'm the polar opposite. Not only do I find the E Type to be rather unflattering and awkward looking, but there isn't a Jaguar at all that I like. The longhood 911s are beautiful to me.
I reckon Enzo Ferrari got it succinctly right when he said the E-type Jaguar was " The most beautiful car in the world".
I know I wish I still had my 68 roadster, I'd swap my 928S in a heartbeat for an E-type, period.!
I love Ferrari 400i. Comes in an automatic to assist my hurting knees
Perfect for carrying me and my grand kids in style
Love the family size, silhouette and styling
I believe one is in my future
Back in the day, the late 60s in fact, when I was in the Air Force, a fellow Navigator of mine had bought a brand new Jaguar XKE Coupe. He was on the base driving on the main road and when he was turning off to the road to the command post an young airman happened to rear end him moderately. It bent every panel on the car - the hood, the front fenders, the roof, the doors, and everything in the rear of course. Styling notwithstanding that turned me off of anything Jaguar. It did not hurt the driver, but it totaled the car. From then on I have felt that any Jaguar is a POS.
The F-type is no POS...and that E could cruise way faster than any contemporary 911..... I can tap a 991 today just right and bend the frame....offset crashes are tough.

So you’ve not changed your mind since post #6 Jerry ;-)
