1968
Jaguar E-Type Series 2
Revised for US safety regulations, the Series 2 E-Type added larger tail lamps, open headlamps, and a new facia. The 4.2-litre straight-six with full synchromesh gearbox made it more usable without sacrificing the visceral performance. Enzo Ferrari is said to have called the E-Type "the most beautiful car ever made."
