When Disneyland first opened, you had to use scrip to get on the rides, and the best attractions required an E-ticket. Jaguar's E-Type has always represented one of autodom's best, and most attractive, rides, but do the mods on today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe '65 make it too Mickey Mouse? More »

Five decades ago, inside a grand villa off Lake Geneva, Jaguar unveiled the E-Type. Journos got so heated that Sir William Lyons ordered another be delivered from Coventry for demo runs. Test driver Norman Dewis did the honors. More »

The retro-obsessed designers at Vizualtech make a point of mentioning not everyone likes the new Jaguar design direction. Their solution? Drop an E-type-inspired body on the current XKR. More »

It’s not like England’s greatest phallic sports car needed any visual gags to make it more obvious, but watch what happens when the great French comic actor Louis de Funès gives it the Gallic treatment. More »

The disassembled front half of a V-12-powered Jaguar E-Type roadster. Sure, we'd rather have a six, but exploded twelves make for much better art, no? More »

The Jaguar E-Type is on every car-nuts must-have list as one of the most lust-worthy road-going cars ever produced. This guy managed to finally buy his own. It caught fire on the way home. More »

At the end of a production run of cars, there are inevitably bits and pieces left behind which aren't assembled and have to be taken off the production line in the boxes they came in. When production on the Jaguar E-Type ended at Browns Lane in 1974, just such a thing happened, and a Jag fanatic picked up those truckloads of leftovers and kept them — for 31 years. When he got tired of being their steward he sold them to an enterprising fellow who thought of another Jag fanatic who might be able to make something of these parts. Turns out the kit was complete enough to finish one final 1974 Jaguar E-Type V12. More »

Those of you who read the Down On The Street FAQ over the weekend know that some of the machines we see in this series don't live on the street full-time. Most do, but every so often I'll find an obvious non-daily-driver that's just visiting, or maybe getting a rare exposure to the world outside of the garage. This immaculate E-Type is such a car; I spotted it parked in front of the island's most popular sports bar a while back and I haven't seen it since. More »

Despite the ongoing shenanigans between Ford and TATA over the sale of Jaguar and Land Rover, there are whispers emerging about the possible revival of the venerable Jaguar E-Type. Australia's Courier Mail is reporting Jag honchos are considering the revival of what many consider the most beautiful production car to have ever been built. This news has us torn. While we absolutely love the E-Type, so much so that it holds a position in the Jalopnik Fantasy Garage, we think on Jags history of reviving legendary marques and wonder if this is this a good idea.

Ever since Farago inaugurated the Fantasy Garage with the RUF RT12, you all have been clamoring for specific cars. "Where's the 250 GTO? (right here) Where's the E-type? (right here) Where's the Tumbler E39 M5?" (right here) And of course, "Where's the Toyota 2000GT?" As we grind down to the 50-car wire please be assured that there are certain no-brainer entries that will be put up to a vote. This being Japan Week, what better time than the present to (possibly) induct Japan's first supercar, the aforementioned Toyota 2000GT? Exactly, none. More »

The car that made the 60s swing... Once in a great while, a car comes along that redefines everything. Think Benz three-wheeler, Ford Model T, Willys MB Army Jeep, Volkswagen Beetle, Jeep Cherokee and even the Dodge Caravan. After these vehicles were unleashed upon the unsuspecting masses, there was no going back to the way things were. This isn't always a good thing. For example, the Jeep Cherokee — a solid vehicle by all rational standards — is the spiritual ancestor to hordes of ungainly SUVs cluttering this nation's highways and byways (though, oddly, not our unpaved roads). Always a hateful apparition to my fuel-soaked eyes, the Dodge Caravan and its K-platform mates are responsible for generation after generation of kid-toting, DVD-equipped suburban buses. The Jaguar E-Type, on the other hand, brought only good things. Every sports car built since the E-type arrived at the Geneva show in 1961 has been influenced by the Shag-u-ar. And in concept at least, is a sports car ever a bad thing? We argue no, and propose the Jaguar E-type for induction in the Jalopnik Fantasy Garage. More »

Could we be looking at a new arms race between Tesla, which uses a Lotus chassis and a new British car company that plans an even more batchsit mad electric car? Sure, why not. It's the Lightning Car Company GT, and it's powered by four, hub mounted electric motors that its builders claim produce at least 700 hp in toto. We're not sure if torque accrues in the same way, but considering each motor has a maximum torque rating at the wheel of 553 lb-ft starting at zero rpm, it could be a mad proposition if t did. The company's plan calls for three models, the GT; a lighter, faster GTS version and a long-range GTSE model that can do 250 miles on a charge. Pistonheads says the batteries can be recharged in 10 minutes, though we're not sure if that's just a partial charge or the full monte. PH says to expect the GTSE model word on prices yet, but expect a top-range GTSE to set you back £150,000. Gee. More »

Last year, Britons dropped 6 billion quid in an attempt to make their rides more appealing to the opposite sex, which is approximately 25 times more than they spent on plastic surgery. No word, however on the dentistry-to-ride-pimping ratio. Also, the respondents to the survey voted the Jaguar E-Type the car that makes them the horniest. While many admitted to shagging in the back seat, 4% of those surveyed said they'd even gone for a spot of tang in the midst of a traffic jam. Randy buggers. More »
