    Gorgeous

    Linky.

    Shame it is no longer a true British company.

    I never much liked the E-Type, but that XK at the end of the slides . . . . Now that's gorgeous.

    The vegetarian option.

      I never liked the look of the E-Type either.

      All owned by Bobs now anyway. May as well get misty eyed over a Kia for all the relevance to New Britain.

        I helped to restore a hard top E type some years back, I admit I really like the model.

        It's a bit of a shame Jaguar is now Bob owned.

          The soft tops look much nicer than the hardtops IMHO.

          The full roof really detracts from the lines of the car, I think.

            I like them both although I've never been a big fan of ragtop cars.

              The E type convertible is IMO the quintessential 60s sports car and one of the best looking cars ever made.
              While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                A good friend has a series 1 E-Type roadster with the rare factory hardtop which makes it look rather lovely. The downside with E-Types is they aren’t much fun to drive round town as there is always the urge to go faster.
