            <description><![CDATA[ The E-type was supposed to be the replacement for the D-type for racing.  The &quot;XK&quot; (120-140-150) designation was the road-going sports model.  But the E-type was so well received by the press and public that it was decided to make a road version.  The E-type became known in the U.S. as the &quot;XKE&quot; to ride the popularity of the preceeding XK models.  And soon there may be the Jaguar F-type ... back to the &quot;type&quot;s roots as a 2-seater sports car instead of the grand touring route that the models took in 1972 when the E-types were long wheelbase 2+2&#039;s.  BTW, Alfa Romeo used the terms &quot;Corsa&quot; and &quot;Strada&quot; to differentiate their racing models from the road going base car equivalent.<br />
<br />
&quot;Type&quot;, &quot;Model, &quot;Job&quot;, etc. were popular model progression designations in earlier times.  Remember the Buick Y-Job, Ford Model A?  But were there ever any Jaguar A- or B-types?]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ After WW II, there were the C-Type, which was mostly a race car, then the D-Type, also a race car. Next in the series was the E-Type. &quot;E&quot; isn&#039;t actually short for anything.]]></description>
