Here's a fun thread idea...I'm posting this link to a chat where 65 posters linked a couple hundred photos to answer that question (and yes, the F-Type's represented)...

https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-be...ar-of-all-time

Once you're done drooling...

Here's your challenge...Paste ONE photo from that list that you believe is the most beautiful ever, AND ONE photo that ISN'T on that list but deserves to be. NO Jaguar E-Types allowed, and NO Jaguar F-Types allowed (since we are all obviously biased).
An award will go to the first poster deviating from the thread challenge, which probably won't take long lol.


I'll start with this from the list...
1963 Chevrolet Corvette (C2)



And one they missed...
2012 Audi R8

 

My dad always said he thought Duesenbergs were the prettiest cars every made. The first time I drove up in the F-type, he changed his mind.





This was Fred Duesenberg's prototype Model SJ, which unfortunately, managed to kill him.


Very difficult to compare a car of that era with a modern car.


And I broke your rules already.

 

Dear god, bloody post #1...



And, YES, that car is amazzing and belongs on the list!!!

 

from the list - 356 or 718





not on list - (classic) 1953 Fiat 8V Otto Vu




not on list - (modern) Bugatti Chiron

 

 

The wonderful BMW 507 is an all-time favourite of mine...





And, of course, its younger sibling, the BMW Z8:

 

Oh, the Jaguar XKSS is no slouch, either...

 

And one can be yours for only $30 million USD!

 

What a bargain!

 

Didn't have time to go through the list so I don't know if this is on it or not but;

Lots of stunning choices on this list, but if I had to pick just one:

 

And if I could add any other car - besides our Jag or any number of Jaguar's classics - it would be this (at the risk of being "flamed", not that I care...read my tag line below if need be). I've always loved the lines, and especially that rear end, and the way it strongly suggests the cockpit/canopy of a fighter jet.

1936 / 1981 Auburn Boattail Speedster

Can't seem to get photo to pot but not on list:

1936 Auburn boat tail speedster.

 

+1. Yes, both my favorites. Given F-Type color combo, our tastes are obviously similar.

 

T70 Lola race car and Malcom Sayers design: the XJ-S coupe updated and modernized.

 

That's pretty interesting, actually - I think the 507, Z8 and the F-Type all have a similar appeal in their lines.


You'll probably love this - I didn't even realize that the original Corvette Stingray was ever even produced in "British Racing Green," until I saw one in person a few weeks ago. The color is called "Goodwood Green" and pictures don't do it justice:



Since you're a fan of the 507, it's worth reading this story about the restoration of Elvis' 507; a car he bought while stationed in Germany while serving in the Army...


Elvis Presley?s BMW 507 set for complete restoration


I missed buying a Z8, and the 507 is pretty much out of reach, barring a large lottery win... I wasn't about to miss owning a F-Type.

 

Ahem ...

the X308 was actually awarded the title of
"most beautiful car in the world" by an
Italian designer committee

Sounds a lot better in the original Italian
than the English translation.

 

On the list




Not on list

 

From that thread, the Singer 911:



Not from that thread, although TVR was mentioned.. The TVR Sagaris:



I was really excited when there was a prospect several years back of those being able to come (legally) into the USA. Too bad it never really happened.
