Oddly, I prefer the Toyota over the Jaguar.

I prefer the E-Type Coupé to the drop head any day. GT 2000 - not a car I know at all - did it sell here?

Let me just balance it out for the E-Type. How could you ignore those glorious lines and the sound of the engine? It's still one of the best looking cars, even after 40+ years.

The 2000GT does look better than the E-type ever did.

I agree completely. E-type coupes always looked really top heavy to me.

Yesterday I saw an E-Type (a convertible) and a XK120 (a convertible too) in the flesh for the first time. Am I the only one who thinks the XK is more beautiful? I was a little bit disappointed with the E-Type to be honest.

I've always felt the XK120 was better looking than the E-type. Don't get me wrong, the E-type is a good looking car, but I've never understood the fascination with it and claims that it is the most beautiful car ever built.

Oof. This is having to pick either going deaf or going blind.
