Honestly, how many people like the E-Type genuinely? It’s so disproportionate and weird looking from any angle in both 2 seater and 2+2 form. Especially when it’s compared the far superior D-Type.

My favorite Jag is the XK120.

Apropos of not a whole lot, there are road legal D replicas, ranging in price from “hmm” to “WOW”. Generally possible to have a pretty good one, though.

I look at your dtype and say ha. The xj13 is so much better looking

The XK120 has styyyyle, so I can understand why you and others would like it.

Early Etypes look the best, but my love for the XJ220 is too powerful

The XJ13 looks like someone stepped on the clay model of a car, then Jag said screw it and built the XJ13based on the smooshed clay model.

I like the XJ220 as much as the next person, but come on, it doesn’t even have a tailfin like the D-Type.
Also, XJ220 TWR.

D-Type, followed by the XK. I think the E-type looked better when it was stolen and recreated as the more proportional 240Z.
From a modern perspective, I think I like the Project 7.

Tail-fins are ugly.
That TWR though... *drool*

I was going to fight you with the XJR-14 but I realized that while impressive, it’s not exactly beautiful

I %100 agree. The proportions of the 240Z is what the E-Type should have been.

C type. The D looks over-inflated. Though the fin IS cool.
The E’s main problem is that the track is too small. Fill out the wheelarches with wider wheels and it looks great. Excluding 2+2's and all S3s, which are abominations.
I wouldn’t throw the CX75 out of my garage, either.

I like the E-Type just fine.
Too bad Exoto doesn’t make a model of it, too.

Is this a kit that you need to build and paint, or is it just a highly detailed model? Either way it’s to expensive for me.

I somehow missed your post saying “model” and it saying “model” in the red bar at the top of the page.

Exoto makes model cars, and they’re pricey. I just don’t know if that one is a model you build or one that they sell complete.
