Went to a Cars and Coffee this morning with the F-Type SVR and came across this beautiful E-Type! 1967, meet 2018.

Happy Fourth, everyone!

 

Two beauties!

 

F-Types are BIG cars aren't they?

 

Yes unfortunately sports cars have gotten comically larger over the last 40 years. More capable, more comfortable, safer....yes but there was a simple joy in the smaller ones.

 

Agreed.
Looks like a skinny smiling Dad on left, with plump smiling baby on right...

 

I’m always amazed how small they are in person. The down side vs today’s cars is a very poor crash survival rate. The upside is the fun factor of such a small light car. I enjoy driving my wife’s A250 hatch and even my daughters new Mazda 3 sport especially around town. It’s why I wish to build a Cobra kit car one day.

 

All three of those beauties would be in my dream garage, if I had one.
Love the E type in silver.
A restomod E type recently sold on BAT for about 180k, I think it was called the 007. What a perfect weekend car , the best of both worlds

A '68 E Type would for sure be in my dream garage as well. However, I'd have to go with the original BRG. Just something about it.

 

Great comparison. I owned a 63 E type coupe for 21 years and drove her over 52k miles touring all over the east coast and enjoyed every mile. Sold her last August and immediately purchased a MY,16 F type S coupe. I've driven her almost 6k miles and am loving every moment again all over the east coast. I'll post some photos and you can really see the lineage between the two great jaguars of their time.

Two absolutely beautiful Jaguars a 63 and 2016 coupe

Great Jaguars

 

 

All great cars but the red one if a 68 has had major modifications unless it is a ROW car.

 

Also kind of comparison between color-shifting paint and color shifting wrap.

 

Photo #1: I'm pretty sure that's a '67 Series 1.5. Knockoff wheels, covered headlights.

 

You are correct; it is a 1967. I corrected the typo in my initial post 👍
