In the classic car world, 2011 has seen several events marking the 50th anniversary of the E-Type Jaguar.
The latest Classic and Sports Car continues the celebration with a “race” between an E-type and a Lightning…(a retro version of Top Gear‘s acceleration contest between a Typhoon and a Bugatti).
The pair are the most powererful British machines of their respective types of their day.
I thought you might find it interesting…
I haven’t seen the magazine yet, (it takes awhile for the mail boat to reach the colonies :)) so I can’t provide details about where is was photographed and who is involved.
But I’m sure someone here knows.

If there was ever a car I can’t afford, but lust after, it’s the E-Type…
Luckily I get to play with a Lightning! 😉

Mmm Lightning, more reliable and easier to maintain!
