 you will see a scanned copy of the Road & Track of May 1961. It even has an 
 ad from Jaguar on the back showing both the roadster and coupe with the 
 statement: "This is the new XK-E". >>

Lemme try:   XKE, XK-E, and E-type were all used in US advertising over the 
history of the series.   Purists insist on "E-Type" and then follow it by OTS 
(open top sedan), FHC (fixed head coupe), or FHC 2+2.    Nice piece of 
history and a great drive by any name  :)
