Jaguar is a brand that has been a times in its history, a world-beater, nearly broke, seemingly lost with their product, and the manufacturer of some of the most beautiful cars in history. It is his manic history that has kept people engaged and paying attention to the machines of Coventry, England. The marque has survived sometimes on pride, sometimes on prayer, and for the last decade plus, on the strength of its offerings from bad ass SUVs to machines like the F-Type.
Back in 1948 the XK120 was a sensation. The fastest car in the world when it was released, it was the company’s breakout star after WWII. The inline six that powered the car set the standard for power plants and the company relied on its foundation for years and years onward.
This list is great because it does not get hung up on one era, one style, or one model. The love is spread arounf and frankly like all good lists, you may wince at what’s on it or you may wince at what’s not but that is the fun of stuff like this. The kid in us will always want an XJ220. That was a poster car of our youth and a machine that is still drop dead beautiful today. Or an E-Type…or an F-Type R…or….
