Default E-type made in my neighborhood

E-type made it into my neighborhood. Despite it looks like it is the same size in the pictures it felt tiny next to my car.

Enzo Ferrari stated E type was the most beautiful car ever made. I think he would say the same about the XK-RS.


Nice picture.

Wow! Nice pair!

I remember seeing the E-type the very first time in Europe, many decades ago. There was a crowd surrounding it, several layers deep. People were gasping, me included...

Not an expert on E-type but here is a rear shot. The color was powder baby blue ...

Would love if Jaguar offered that blue on the E type on their current models.

Funny as I look at the picture it seems the nose was much more pronounced on the convertible then I remember from my coupe. Still has that classic lines .

Yeah, wouldn't it have been nice for Jag to offer the originals colors (1961) for the 50th anniversary?

They did offer a light blue on the X150 at one point.

Jaguar should offer all their historical colors on any model for an additional charge.

Money and celebrity...

That was awesome. Funny with the celebrity article. I was trying to find a picture of George Michael in a Black XK convertible with his Golden Retriever to show my girlfriend. Saw the picture a few years ago and couldn't find.
