Default OT: a pair of commemorative E-Type

Not just the "Drop everything green" but the whole story is lovely, and Jag's done a fantastic job with this.

Sold in pairs. Which 6 of us? =^)

Personally, I prefer the C-type continuation...

The E-Type drophead is stunning but for me, the coupe loses that balance of form. The bulbous rear doesn't flow from the front.

As much as I'd like the C-Type, I think it's the D-Type I'd kill for, although if it was someone I actually liked, it better be an original D-Type, with provenance.

E type is beautiful...C type is to die for....

XJ13 is the cream of the crop though for me.If only a continuation was being made.

I'd have to sell the house, wife and dog, and rob a bank!

unfortunately, not street legal, and even more unfortunately, a 1.5M Pound list price. However, all parts are authentic to the car, either new or factory rebuilt. Not a replica, rather a delayed factory production.

I love the "delayed factory production". 😂😃

They're finishing the "production run" of lightweight E-Types, too, also at eyewatering prices.
