If Jaguar would make a retro E Type similar to the Eagle they would have a huge hit on their hands. Most older cars don't lend themselves well to "modernizing" the shape & most retro cars leave me thinking they should have left well enough alone but I think a retro E-Type,if done well like the Eagle,would be a very desirable car. I sure know I would be in line to get one if they could get the cost down to a reasonable figure with mass production.

The E-Type is one of the few things left which remind us what being British was about. If anyone thinks we still have a UK, think again. We're the most CCTV controlled country in the world; every pub, cafe, hospital, leisure centre, college/school, business centre, even public park has CCTV. We have a draconian smoking ban & pubs are deliberately made to close due to high costs. We have no manufacturing industry left & high unemployment.And we have people who can afford a 50k E-Type lol.

The French painted it.

[Prashanth Panicker]

Despite everything that is amazing about the E-Type it is still wired like a Jaguar!
