Own every Jaguar.
Jaguar began in 1922 as the Swallow Sidecar Company in Blackpool. Its founders were William Lyons and William Walmsley. The Jaguar name was adopted in 1945 and the works settled in Coventry. The brand won the Le Mans 24 Hours five times in the 1950s.

Legend says Enzo Ferrari called it "the most beautiful car ever made" at its launch on 15 March 1961, though that has never been fully confirmed. Born from the D-Type that won Le Mans three years running from 1955, the E-Type promised 150 mph (241 km/h) and 0-60 mph in under seven seconds, at a competitive price. In 2008 the Daily Telegraph still ranked it first among the 100 most beautiful cars.

2012–2024
The wait was long: Jaguar had wanted a new E-Type-inspired sports car since 1980 and the XJ41 project. The F-Type only arrived in 2012, as a convertible, with the fastback coupé in 2013. The C-X16 concept that previewed it was Jaguar's smallest car since the 1954 XK120.

Robbers loved it as a getaway car, while the police used it to patrol Britain's motorways: the Mark 2 was that quick. It lived up to William Lyons' old slogan, "Grace... Space... Pace", with all three sizes of the XK engine, the 3.8 sharing its block and crank with the E-Type's.
