u r in the minority for sure....
like my z3 coupe, the 2 + 2 can be awkward tho
Love E types. One of the only cars that I think look great both coupe and cab. They even look cool when rough. They scare me to much to ever buy one though. $$$ 1st post picture is stunning..
Mark..
BTW: Am I the only person who thinks E-Types are Butt Ugly and awkward looking?[/QUOTE]
I am with you to a point. I don't think they are butt-ugly, but I really prefer the looks of the XK-120 Roadster to the XKE.

Leno owns a really nice orig coupe, 1 owner car he bought........he talks about how when they are sorted and loved they are very very reliable and stout.
First car I ever wrecked was a '64 3.8 XKE OTS that belonged to a friends' older brother (he being away at college). About 5:30 AM, home from a weekend hunting trip, sent out to get breakfast. Fast trip to Dunkin Donuts, fast return spoiled by a buggy trailer occupying the spot I had backed out of 15 minutes earlier. 1971, $400 damage.
Flat-floor Jag roadsters are a tight fit, later ones just a little better. I prefer early coupes, and who doesn't love the look of the low-drag cars?
Had an XK140 coupe once, a more comfortable car for someone my size. Had a couple of big Healeys, too. Childhood buddy got a 2002ti; one drive ended my fetish for British cars. Love the styling, but only drive German.
