The most evocative of all the Jaguars has to be the "C" type, but that's just dreaming.



Of the ones you can actually *own* the series "1-1/2" FH E-Type has to be the best. You get the combo of 3.8 engine but not the 'orrible Moss gearbox, better brakes than the series 1 but still the faired-in headlights and the sloped windscreen with 3 wipers, the little rear lights and the alloy dash panel with toggle switches. Real classic. Not many made before the 4.2 arrived.



Equal first; XK140 FHC in BR green. Really has the flavour of a pre-war car. Sadly steers like one as well, but at least it has discs and stops!



Worst? ...er gotta be the MK10. Luckily, most have been scrapped to keep other cars running, but it's important that someone should keep and restore one, if only as a warning.

My fav jag is of course the e-type. I drove an XJ6 once it was like no other car I had driven before or since. It was the apitamy of comfort and refinement with a good deal of performance as well. My least favourite was the huge one before the XJ type it was enormous.
