so, the D type.
the D type, which was given the super sport XKSS designation.
and the E type
even a comparative video
there you have a good variety of each, regular production ones, and full race ones... professionally photographed, and amateur photos.

ReplyDeleteC-type!
ReplyDeleteD...
ReplyDeleteBeauty of course is in the eye of the beholder, but I have always had a soft spot for the E type.
ReplyDeleteFor me easily the C, then the D and the E third
ReplyDeleteE-type
ReplyDeleteI agree with Enzo: E-Type.
ReplyDeleteThat C type just oozes sex.
ReplyDeleteThis is like telling one of you're 3 daughters she is the most beautiful. so E Type S1 it shall be.
ReplyDeleteIt is very close; the C-Type, however, is artistic sculpture nose to tail.
ReplyDeleteyou get me!
DeleteD.I wonder how many people have actually seen all three. I've seen the D and E but never a C.
ReplyDeleteC-type....saw one this fall at a Wings and Wheels show,....sorry no pictures (kicking myself)
ReplyDeleteI still vote for the C Type!
ReplyDeleteA bit of trivia. The 3rd D Type pic is an XKSS. When the D Type was retired from racing Jaguar started converting the last D Types to road going versions - the XKSS. Only 16 were sold before the devastating fire at Brown's lane stopped production.
The 4th D Type pic is the long nose variation used at Le Mans
Speaking of Le Mans, the XK-120C won in 1951; the C Type in 1953; and the D Type in '55, '56, '57. Only other Jaguars to win were the XJR's in '88 and '90.
E type. Decidedly biased because my neighbor had one. Bought it new ( year end leftover) in 67. At one point it even had a trailer hitch installed.
ReplyDeleteThat's like asking to choose between Kiera Knightley, Emma Watson, or Gal Gadot. I love the D with all my heart, but I wouldn't kick any of them out of the... ah ... garage.
ReplyDeleteD Type - hands down!!!
ReplyDeleteDavid says "D".....
ReplyDeleteE-type.
ReplyDeleteE-type.
ReplyDeleteI remember the 1st one I ever saw. Near Vanderbilt University, yellow S1 with a knock-out blonde getting out of it.
E type
ReplyDeleteE-Type Series 1 - I bought one in 1975 for $400 (as a non-runner), rebuilt it and drove it regularly until 1995.
ReplyDeleteyou're killing me Dave, I was really pulling for the C type. Congrats on your E type! Wow! Did you sell it and profit handsomely or have you just retired it from daily driver? I met a woman a couple years ago at the laundramat who uses her late 60s E type as a commuter.
