So here is your chance to vote for the best Jaguar of all time....is it the E-Type or the XK, maybe the F-Type or the XJ220?

Vote for your choice now!

There's bound to be some left off the list so please let us know what they are below :-)

XK SS ?

I think the E type is just the most beautiful car but I would also love to own one of the last XJ12 saloons. Grace, Pace and space in abundance. 

The e type [XK150] is the most beautiful car that Jaguar ever designed and made, but if think that it is in second place to the best car ever made was it's predecessor, the D Type ]XK140] which changed the face of Jaguar and was the car that Malcolm Sayer, the designer of the E Type. designed to race nd which was so successful at Le Mans that it put Jaguar firmly on the map.

Yes but how about this beauty---

Yes,  forgot about that one until just after I set up the poll and could not add it in afterwards....but what a superb car that was!

Everyone has their favourite, but a little surprised that the Mk2 isn't on the list!

Never mind, whilst everybody is falling over their Paddy Hopkirk leather and string driving gloves after the E-type, we'll make off with a XJ220.     

Happy growling as always

Personally I always loved the XJS hard top coupe, not the convertible though. Remember seeing a new one when I was a lad and I always stared with wide glared eyes at its huge long bonnet, large wheels and sweeping back end.

Child hood dreams I suppose 😁

I'd vote for the s type if it was on there? The original one that is.

Enzo Ferrari himself once claimed that the E-Type was the car he wished he'd designed himself. He said it was prettier than anything he'd ever made.

 

If I had a few bob to spare I'd be parking the Eagle variant in my garage instead of the current fleet.

The e type is the most beautiful car ever designed, but I placed my vote to its predecessor, the XK140, known as the D Type.  As a young man in my twenties, to see [in the cinema] a Jaguar winning the Le Mans 24 hour race three times in succession was wonderful, with Ferraris and Mercedes limping behind.

To see a Jaguar designed to do 14O mph doing 196 mph, after Malcolm Sayer's aerodynamics wizardry, down the Mulsanne Straight, was a joy.  

Nowadays that car, and there are a few left, sells at over £1 million.

Members will make their own choice, but that was the reason for my choice, 

I agree a fantastic car and way before its time- in looks and performance .

Bernie Eccleston sold one for £3.500 in the 1950's.  It is again on the market and expected to get £9 millions at Auction,

I was going to vote for the C-Type just to be a contrarian as nobody else had! It did win the LeMans 24hr on it's 1st attempt after all! But reading the early one's had drum brakes and were flawed in other ways, including aerodynamics lifting the rear at over 120mph, I had to go with it's sucessor the D-Type, which was an absolute beast, and spawned the beautiful E-Type.

I'm also surprised not to see a MK2 on there, as this was quite iconic and groundbreaking in it's day. But given it's competition success, technological advances and current values, I'm going with the XK140 D-Type. Yes please, I'll have a green one
