Wind, engine note, and a long bonnet stretching ahead—this is how the Jaguar XK 120 OTS is best understood. In 1954, the Open Two Seater remained the most direct expression of Jaguar’s early postwar sports car philosophy. It offered speed without insulation and refinement without excess weight.

By 1972, the Jaguar E-Type had shed much of its early-1960s sharpness and taken on a broader, more mature identity. In V12 Cabriolet form, it was no longer simply a sports car—it was a twelve-cylinder grand tourer designed for open-air high-speed cruising. The transformation was deliberate, and it defined the final years of E-Type production. […]

When Jaguar replaced the 3.8-liter engine with a 4.2-liter unit, the Jaguar E-Type gained torque, drivability, and refinement without altering its iconic silhouette. The evolution was mechanical, not visual. Technical Details: The 1964 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Series 1 was powered by a 4.2-liter dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) inline six-cylinder engine, replacing the earlier 3.8-liter unit. […]

Twelve cylinders changed the character of the Jaguar E-Type more profoundly than any styling revision ever could. When the V12 arrived in 1971, it did not simply replace the long-serving straight-six; it redefined the E-Type as a high-speed grand tourer for a new decade. The result was faster, heavier, more refined—and unmistakably different from its […]

By 1969, the Jaguar E-Type 4.2 had entered a transitional phase. The purity of the early Series 1 design was giving way to regulatory-driven revisions, yet the core engineering concept remained intact. The 1969 model year captures this moment precisely: a car still defined by its 4.2-litre straight-six and independent suspension, but increasingly shaped by […]
