My old mans E-Type
Photo Approx 1995-1996 I ain't completely sure.
He did the RAC classic rally a few times. Drove it around Silverstone etc. I remember it feeling quite quick (Bearing in mind I was a kid) Loved it, and it was a very special car. I wish he had kept it, as I do about quite a few cars he had.

My next door neighbour has one as a running restoration. It is a black 4.2(?) FHC. They don't float my boat, although I can see why they are so sought after and collectable.

Ah I actually thought it was an XR with the blue strip on the bumper but assumed it was your Frst...
You going to hang onto it or is it F/S?

Lovely cars. Seem to recall that the one "Motor" magazine did 150mph in was blueprinted etc. - basically Jaguar "cheated"! Still wonderful though, and good value new - (near) 150mph grunt for about £2000, when similar performance Ferraris were £4000+. |
