    Car is discussed as a possible rental, undated but appears current

    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.

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
