      A lot of Italian made cars would disagree, but it's up there with all of them. What almost all of them have in common though is: they were made in the 60s and some in the 50s

    Always loved E-types. What a fantastic restomod. Love that you’re giving those some attention, too. It’s a GREAT way to preserve a bygone era in automotive history. Imagine cars that were notorious for their unreliability suddenly having real world reliability you can count on day after day. And making them better than the day they rolled off the line. Fantastic.

    The car looks fabulous with the colour and the details. But one thing that came across quite clearly, the gearbox and the shifts, I could almost feel the smoothness with how effortless the gears shifted, That in itself is a unexplainable.

    @maidenthemetalhead 3 роки тому +5

    This is why I would rather take something like an E Type over modern performance cars any day. The fact you don't have to go fast to enjoy it, being more involved in driving and of course the drop dead gorgeous looks. Yeah they're expensive, dangerous in a crash, and probably break down... but nothing is perfect. Great video James 😎🤘

  • @ozeskiman

      A piece of Art! Beautiful shape, even better than the original E-Type! The proportions are a lot sportier and the details show perfection! Eagle is to Jaguar what Singer is to Porsche! Turning old sportscars into perfection! And yes, the way to go is backwards! This is all about driving pleasure! Not like modern cars, that are way to heavy, filled with too much electronics and multimedia and that are made of ugly Plastic in and outside...

    BEAUTIFUL CAR...
    Thanks for a truly lovely review
    I love Suede Green interiors
    When young, I owned a full house Coombs 3.8 MK 2...
    HC head...revved like the clappers...
    Moss gearbox with no synchro...lots of whine...
    Tight limited slip diff
    It put out about 320bhp
    and weighed a bit more than this Lightweight...
    But it was EPIC...
    In those days...1960s... there were precious few speed limits
    and almost no traffic around
    A friend lived on a hill
    He would start to get ready (to go to local gigs etc)
    when he heard the Servais straight through exhausts ...
    ricocheting ...VERY hard edged... across the local valley...
    It was REALLY loud...made that Lightweight sound quiet
    I would be arrested today
    That Coombs...897 PBP...
    started my passion for beautiful machines
    Thanks for a GREAT review of a lovely car
    and bringing back some great memories for me

    Most gorgeous e type for sure. I wonder why Eagle didn’t add the extra front lights as on the Le Mans original which makes it even more striking IMHO 🤔. I love the fact that the rear shape was developed with out the benefit of Computational Fluid Dynamics , just adding tufts of wool onto the body and observing their behaviour while driving up and down the motorway then hand beating the panels until the tufts gave them laminar flow over the rear surface- awesome old school methods.

  • @Abrora77
    @Abrora77 3 роки тому +1

    Hi! It becomes a true tendency nowadays to transform classic iconic cars such as E-Type into real driver's cars. Giving the sense of hovering and self-confidence. You are quite right, modern cars don't give a feeling of emotional surge! Here you get visual, tactile and audio satisfaction!
