I have never been smitten with the lines of the E-type in they way that everyone else seems to be ! I'm probably the only person on this forum who wouldn't have the E-type in their top 10 best looking cars!

No car is perfect. It is more about which cars have the fewest flaws in their ability to do what is expected of them. IN that respect I think the E Type Jag ticks a lot of boxes.
On the downside; having worked on them in the 1970s I have my reservations; as anyone who has ever had dealings with the inboard brakes will testify!
The remarkable thing is how so many E Types have been brought back from the brink.
I think they rust for fun.

ukdave2002, you are not alone.
I've never been even mildly excited by the E Type Jag. It is the Mk 2 shape that has always rung bells for me.

Its weird being the same age as old people.
You are either part of the problem or part of the solution |

Evening all,
A week or so back the Generations Rally (c100 cars 1920s-1980s) passed through the area, today's upload shows the cars competing on the Oulton Park stages. Some real gems turned up, including pre-war Alfa Romeos, Bentleys, Invicta, straight-eight Triumph and more, through to unexpected entries such as a pair of Range Rovers, a Swiss-registered Citroen CX, and a Morris Ital!
