Immaculate concourse early S1 manual shift roadster, or the Eagle?

Take money out of the equation.

S1 Manual Roadster. The eagle looks as if someone took a super model and fed her steroids. It is not sleek like an S1 E.

I'm with you here Herb. I mean the Eagle is fabulous in every way but it is a tribute to the original.

Cheers dude 😀👍

And you can get an immaculate S1 manual roadster for £100k the Eagle is half a million. It is lovely and better technically but I would still rather go to see Don Henley and Deacon Frey (Glenn's son) than the Illegal Eagles even though they are brilliant and the best tribute band around. 😀👍So yes,spot on, agreed......
But hang on.....what about the Allegro? The Van Den Plas model upgrade was pretty special? 🤣🤣🤣 Looked like a Rolls Royce if you kept your eyes shut

Perfect example of how the communists ruined our English car industry in the 1970's. They took our lovely independent car companies, Triumph, Jensen, MG, etc and molded them into a Nationised disaster called British Leyland and produced hideous garbage like this. The management were clueless, the workers spent most of their time on strike under the control of Trotskiest trade union leaders fighting a class war. Jaguar survived..... only just
Bah humbug 🤨🤨

I like your little joke of putting in two really horrible cars in the list.
