If you were looking for a sports car in the early 1960s it appears Coyle-Hampton Motors in El Cerrito, Ca wouldn't have been a bad place to start. We can't find one item on their lot that wasn't a little bit interesting or exotic even when it was a used car. More »

E-Type [e-tahyp] noun. 1. An elegant, phallic grand tourer often found in the garages of the rich and famous. 2. What pulled up on the right in "Dead Man's Curve." 3. Something you ditch on eBay in mass quantities. Huh? 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 »

Jaguar recently trademarked the names "C-XE," "C-XJ," and "XE." Could a spiritual successor to the classic E-Type finally be on the way? Sure, we've come close before, with the F-Type concept, but if this new name trademarked by the company is any indication, there may be another roadster in the pipeline. As was the case with the C-XF concept, which previewed the production Jaguar XF, the C-XE will likely be a concept which previews a possible production model Jaguar XE. That name is just one letter short of being XKE, the other name for the old E-Type. The above rendering from autoblog.it speculates at what might be in store. 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.

What would Maximum Wagon Day be without an homage to the wagon of death? Chariot of the Reaper? Driver of Demise? That's the hearse, of course, and, once again of course, there's no more Jalopnik a hearse than than the Jaguar E-Type version from the cult flick Harold & Maude (at left). However, the hearse business is, um, alive and well. These days, they don't call 'em hearses (except in URLs). More »
