I like BRG. The darker the better. Like this near black D-Type. (yes, this is just a gratuitous excuse to run a pic of this gorgeous dream)

 

we have one close by, i see it sometimes coming out of the ritzy part of town!

altho it could be a replica, Donno.

but still looks super kool.

 

This is the ultimate dream!

Unfortunately only the super rich will own these XKSS'ssss

 

Only the super rich could ever afford the original either

 

If only the factory hadn't burned down. I wonder if the E-Type would have ever been produced?

 

The E-Type seems like the logical conclusion to the D-Type to me. I'd have thought it probably could have come out a bit earlier if the fire hadn't slowed things down. I lament the loss of the race team more than the fire. I know Jaguar poured a lot of factory support to their favoured race teams (Ecurie Ecosse, Briggs Cunningham etc) after they officially quit racing in 56. But I think they could have achieved more as a factory team, & it would have livened up racing throughout the 60s.
