<p>Also, as Autoblog reminded us this past week, <a title="Autoblog on Jaguar's 75th anniversary" href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/02/02/jaguar-observes-75-year-anniversary-by-celebrating-past-looking/">Jaguar is celebrating the 75th anniversary of the marque’s name this year</a>, and has put together its own little retrospective. Isn’t the D-Type the sexiest thing on wheels?</p>
