The Jaguar E-Type’s inherent beauty is legendary, and it is one of a few cars to ever be exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Production of the car began in 1961, and it originally featured a 3.8-liter overhead-cam, six-cylinder engine. Its styling, which was the work of Malcolm Sayer and had been overseen by company founder Sir William Lyons, evolved from Jaguar’s Le Mans–winning D-Type race cars.

Whether one referred to it as an E-Type or an XKE depends upon which side of the Atlantic one hailed; the former in England and the latter in the U.S. Regardless, this was, most assuredly, the sexiest car of the 1960s (if not still). It followed the Jaguar method – sensational looks, sensational performance, and a sensationally low price – which had been introduced so successfully with the XK 120 in 1949 and restated with vigor in 1961. The E-Type made Jaguar young and exciting once again. Replacing the voluptuousness of the former XK 150 was the sleekness of the new E-Type. What remained, however, was the undeniable sex appeal of the Jaguar formula.
