What a pity it never really caught on. Still a beauty for a Jaguar of that era.

Definitely! Up until the X Type, I don't think there ever was a ugly Jag though, but the XJ220 is summat else, beautiful

You must have a selective memory.
The Jaguar 420G was quite an ugly piece
The Mark X wasn't fantastic looking either
The ones that weren't good looking :-
XJ40, Series 2 & 3 XJ6.
The Series 1 XJ Coupe was hideous.

Yeh, but the sports cars have always been good looking...other than the XJS!
The XJ got better, certainly the XJ8 before the facelift and aluminium body is pretty good looking.
The thing is though that Jaguar made so many pretty cars it blots out the ugly ones! Haha!

I quite like the XJS, I think it has aged well.

But when you compare it to its pre-decessors, like the C/D/E Type, XK120 and XK150 and then the Mark II/S Type, you can see how they have aged better!

The Jags of beauty and actually of any manufacturer has always been their sports cars. In very rare exceptions do we see their standard saloons as a beauty. Quite true even for the likes of Alfa Romeo and Lancia.
Personally I've always found the Mk2 and E-Types to be one of the best ever looking Jag, made to appear that beauty was what the designer had in mind, only after that they engineered it and then somehow forgot to rust-proof or find drainage for it

The Countach is stunning in my opinion, though it must have the delta wing.

That and the Testarossa (for something slightly less extreme) must have been quite stunning in the 80s.
But Lambos are always beautiful in an aggressive sense, contrasted to the Ferrari's softer elegance.
The old-style Jag XKR was really beautiful and actually ownable.
IMO the F40 and the McLaren F1 are very beautiful, and the latter the greatest car ever made.

Oh absolutely, but it certainly isnt a bad looking car.
