If it was to be a modern interpretation of something, then yes the Eagle Speedster is top of the list...

But the E-type in its original form is just drop dead gorgeous in ways that you can't recreate.

Looks like something a pimp would drive, the steriotypical one, with a white fur coat and a gold chain with dollar signs around his neck. With golden teeth and a cigar in his hand.

Looks like you have to stick your head above the windscreen to see the road.

That's a lot of money to spend on a bonnet with a seat attached to it...

Beauty is a matter of taste and taste is personal. To you it is the most beautiful car because that's your taste. I prefer sleeker modern cars. Because my taste differs from yours, we would never agree but I'm happy you found true love.

Le Bump, this is:

Jaguar E-Type reborn for 60th anniversary with modern upgrades

Jaguar Classic will restore 12 E-Types with nods to famous story of sports car's 1961 unveiling

Jaguar's Classic division is marking the 60th anniversary of the seminal E-Type sports car with an ultra-exclusive run of launch-specification restored cars.

The E-Type 60 Collection comprises a pair of restored Series 1 models - a coupé and a convertible - based on the two cars that were used for the E-Type's famous public debut at the 1961 Geneva motor show.

Named the 9600 HP and the 77 RW in reference to the numberplates of the two cars driven overnight from Coventry to Switzerland ahead of the first press drives 60 years ago, the cars have been faithfully restored, largely to factory specification but with a few subtle concessions to modernity.

The 3.8-litre straight-six engine remains, for example, but features an uprated cooling system and electronic ignition and sends its 265bhp reserves to the rear axle through a new, bespoke five-speed manual gearbox with a synchromesh on each ratio and helically cut gears for smoother changes.
