Here's Why This Is The Most Beautiful Car Ever Made.
JAGUAR E-TYPE.
In 1961, many would argue that the most beautiful cars came from Maranello, Italy. How about Ferrari’s 250 GT SWB Berlinetta Coupe or the California Spyder? So, when Enzo Ferrari, the maestro of automotive aesthetics, bestowed the title of "the most beautiful car ever made," one would naturally assume he was gushing over one of his sculpted masterpieces.
No. His admiration was aimed at a different direction - the just-released Jaguar E-Type. With its captivating long bonnet, unassuming grille, and unmistakable silhouette, this British marvel left even Ferrari himself in awe.
Imagine a time when cars all looked a bit the same - nothing really exciting. But then, bam! The Jaguar E-Type hit the road and turned heads. People of all ages went wild for it, and guess what? That love hasn't gone away, not even a little bit. The secret? Well, it's all in the looks. While other cars were kinda plain, the E-Type was like a superhero among sidekicks.
Check this out: back in 1961, Ferrari, Maserati, and Alfa Romeo also showed off new cars, but who remembers those now? If you told car fans about the "Geneva Motor Show," they'd probably shout "E-Type!" in a heartbeat. People are still crazy about it. And here's the cool part: you can still find spare parts to keep E-Types cruisin' down the road. Everything from big stuff like body parts to tiny things that are super hard to find for other cars.

Specifically enzo was looking at the unveiling of the series 1 coupe on day 1 of the 1961 auto show,and jaguar was so unprepared the roadster didn't make it until day 2,at which point Enzo was gone..the most misquoted statement in automotive history, perpetuated by series lll auto a/c roadster owners.
Best of British old boy ching ching bottoms up down the hatch gin and tonics all round.
Today the E type is seen through rose tinted glasses. When new the first E types ran on crossply tires, had rubbish brakes, poor headlights and overheated.
The gearbox was pre historic with no syncro on first or reverse gears and the seats were hard and uncomfortable. It sold solely on looks.
In 1961 most cars on the road had crossply tyres, far worse brakes, dim bulbs and crash boxes - many boxes up to recent times didn't have syncro on reverse. They also didn't have a 6-pot engine which had won at Le Mans, looked like a space ship and were priced way below anything remotely competitive.
If you want to judge cars on modern metrics, run the same rule over an equivalent sports car of the era, with cart springs, wheezy pushrod engines, separate chassis. Simple fact is your faulty analysis applies to the lot of them.
spoken truly like someone who wished he had one, but can't afford it! 😂
My ‘E’ is a 1960 Sprite. It’s built like a D type.
