Jaguar really invented the word "roadster". 

For the XK 120-150s, they had a Roadster, which for
the XK120 was an assemble-in-place top and side curtains.
The tops of the doors had comfy leather covered pads for 
your elbows...

Then they had the XK120 DHC -- Drop Head Coupe, which had
a completely inside finished fold-down in place top, with rollup
glass windows.  Of course, there was also a FHC -- Fixed 
Head Coupe.

When the open E Type came in 1961, it had rollup glass windows and
an upholstered top -- they called it the OTS -- Open Two Seater...
