In March 2008, the Jaguar E-Type ranked first in Daily Telegraph list of the "100 most beautiful cars" of all time.
In 2004, Sports Car International magazine placed the E-Type at number one on their list of "Top Sports Cars of the 1960s".
The E-Type was initially designed and shown to the public as a grand tour
in two-seater coupe form (aka FHC / Fixed Head Coupe) and
as a convertible (aka Drop Head, Roadster or OTS / Open 2 Seater).
On its release Enzo Ferrari called it "The most beautiful car ever made".
