What....no comment from Era
Thats actually very nice ! I would remove the Jag badges and stick Mazda on it.!
Shame on you Martin - it\'s appalling in practically every detail.
So much work to get it all so wrong. Who were they trying to convince?
I have an Armstrong Siddley body in glass fibre if you run into any rust problems with the 2. No one would ever know the difference...honest. :D
Thats just Wrong!!!!!
I have never figured out why some one would want to build a copy of a car that they proberly could have bought for less than they have spent in the build???
The real E-Types deserve more respect than that.
Not strictly fair, I would agree why spend that amount of money when you could buy the real deal, but very clever engineering, top marks for that.
I\'m just a Rotary fan, so anything with a Rotary in it is a good idea!.
Also, isnt that body fibreglass and therefore much much lighter than an actual Jag (especially of that vintage)?
I don\'t think there are enough pics on that advert,I could not quite grasp the concept,can someone tell him we need more pics??
In reality is pretty well executed project.
Fair play to the guy.Don\'t forget that some years back,possibly when this was done an E type was fetching really big money,so maybe it made sense then.

I can see it has been lovingly done but am still left wondering why. The value of an original cannot be relevant if straying so far from the truth to create something that is not a good copy, unless I\'ve got the whole replica thing wrong.
If that is the case does anyone fancy buying some of the £20 notes I\'ve been making on my photocopier? They are lighter than the original, take me ages to cut out and glue together but Tesco\'s seem curiously reluctant to accept them. :)
Nar sorry i\'m a bit of a Purist, to me its like some one copying the Sistine Chapel with aerosol cans.
Why has he Chav\'d it? no door handles?? Chrome wheels?? Jaguar in big letters across the dash??
Fair due to the Guy as a car it looks good in the pics. But as an E-type its REALLY not my thing.
Its not right to have the Jag badges or \'E\' type badges on the car at all.
however you can appreciate the project as a \'whole\'
maybe should be badged
EGI-Type problem solved?
