I think the design is swooping, especially on the Roller! I just think the design looks mint, what does everyone else think? or do you like todays coupe designs?

I think todays coupe designs can be a bit flat, but then I know the market place, technology etc has changed a hell of a lot

The Phantom 1 looks great I would love have for sunday rides in the summer

  :wub:

as soon as I have enough time to realy enjoy one... Im getting one




(but not a convertable, I cant drive one without thinking about going along the road, upside down at 100mph scraping my face along the tarmack   )

Good luck finding an e-type that hasnt been track converted or dropped into a collection knighty...

Alan could afford one if he wanted to anyway  -)

I liked the cars they had on top gear that time old cars with insides all done up modern so they did not drive crap but looked authentic.

another vote the aero 8 here, fantastic bit of kit that car

One of the benefits of having lived in the north east so long no doubt

Its not really cash thats the hard bit - most of the good examples have somehow ended up as stripped down racers oop norf.

There is that, I know a lot of the rarer models fetch more than some sportscars though.

Im one of the few people that thinks E-Types are a bag of sh*t

Ugly, tiny horrible little abominations

im not too keen on the e type either, doesnt look as nice as some of the other comparable cars of the era

I think the first E types are the nicest, later on when the cabin got bigger and bulbous it looked a bit crap. I think the convertible looks superb.

Although the Aero 8 is a super looking car too.

omfg, you morons, how can you think an e-tyoe is ugly ?

as for finding one, theres quite a few about if you join the owners club, a lot of the members will only sell to other members or people they know will look after them... a lot of the owners are a bit older now and have spent the last 10 years polising there cars... so dont want some muppit with money ruining one !


what others from that time/look do you guys like ?

I used to like reliant scimitars (spl) when I was younger... but went off them years ago... there was a datsun that looked a bit like an e-type too ?

Theyre overvalued, overpriced and underwhelming.

Wouldnt pull the skin off a sh*te.

Hate most old cars, until the 911 came along
