Jaguar had as many misses with their aero work as they did hits.

The C type overheated and all cars failed to finish at Le Mans. The D type did better.
The E type had a number about equal to a VW Kombi bus...around .45 as mentioned above.
The early XJ's did little better with .41 but the number was quoted with so many "adjustments" is was virtually meaningless.

The managed somewhat better after ditching Malcom Sayer and getting people under Ford's management who actually knew what they were doing.
