That automotive cultural icon the Jaguar E type, celebrated as the most beautiful car ever by Enzo Ferrari has returned in new guise. In 1961, E-Type Jaguars were the most exciting, ahead of the curve and staggeringly fast sports cars imaginable, faster indeed than contemporary Ferraris.
Now made by Eagle, aesthetic changes are subtle and in keeping and engine, drive train, suspension and braking systems have been modernised
Fancy driving the world's most beautiful car?
Well, you can if you have half a million quid to spare

I always liked the look of that car specially in red. Cars can have expressions with the headlights and grill and that 61 sports car with those set back lights and open mouth grill always had this interesting one I thought. Plus being a two seater it seemed to cruise sitting still being so long with its sleek body. The wire wheels gave a very nice touch.

...mmm... nice car, hand made, certified, upgrades available anytime, most beautiful sporty in the 60s,.... that was then. There are better hand and factory made cars than this. What makes this Jaguar the best and most beautiful?
Your choice is good but none of the discussants can afford that pack of steel on tyres. I haven't driven a Jag before but like all other cars, it may not deserve all the encomiums lavished on it.
Jaguar could be most exciting to some but with me, the BMW z4 stands taller.

Well BMWs are ugly, the Germans make reliable but ugly cars. Having said that de gustibus non est disputandum as we say

The old E-Type was amazing in its day. It was way cheaper than everything else in its performance class and looked great.
I always lusted after one and then found out my uncle had bought one. Great excitment to arrive ready for a spin only to find out the drive was off because he had rolled the car onto his foot in the garage and broken some toes! Silly man!

That sounds like a wonderful car. I haven't anywhere near enough money to buy it for sure. I have got a five door blue car that cost far less to buy. It is an automatic car and it is lovely to drive. I bought it a few years before I passed my practical driving test. If I had half a million I would have to spend it on a new home rather than a pricey car. One day I may have to get a wheelchair accessible car because I have a disabled son.

Obviously it is a returning of most beautiful car. Jaguar, now taken-over by Tata Group, is unique in its category. I can only appreciate it this time.

Yes Jaguar is Tata owned now but the E-type is built by a British company

Anywhere. You just have your man follow you in the Rolls to stand guard over them both.
