So what, you might ask, is it like to drive? Indescribable, really. But at a push, we would say it is like flying a Spitfire on the ground. The countryside of the South Downs flew by in a blur of green and browns and blues. The wind tore noiselessly over the body as the car cut through the air like a knife through hot butter. The engine howled a primitive roar that might have convinced anyone in earshot that a fleet of Tyrannosaurus Rex had survived that ancient meteor and were now roaming the British countryside. Nevermind being a car to inspire exploration, or even discovery, this is a vehicle which is an adventure in itself.

Nowadays, the car is used extensively: it makes the journeys to Le Mans every other year and is a fixture at Goodwood's Revival events. But gawping at this car is simply not enough. It may look like a work of automotive art, but it's true value is a mixture of the aesthetic and the sheer mechanical wonder that comprises this very singular E-Type. Forget being a fan of the E-Type; we're now avowed devotees of one, in particular: chassis number 850462.
