I think the long hood and upright windshield looks [another word for dorky]. I prefer the Volhart-Sagitta V2 from that era, or better yet the Shelby Cobra coupe;
The Sagitta looks like a Saab with a toothache. Hideous. Pete Brock penned the Daytona Coupe several years after the E Type was introduced, and that famous guy made his famous comment. I doubt he would have ever said the same thing about the Daytona Coupe! After all it trounced his own 250's.

And I don't really care what Enzo says. The original E Type is a stupefyingly gorgeous collection of curves.
