I’m an ex pat now and can’t talk about such stuff on net or phone, as I believe some aspects of the EE L are still classified.

I’ve just choked on my cider!

Lincoln, see Richs’ earlier post E Types are being re-engineered, Eagle cars is one of them, they went into this on one of the recent Top Gears.

T64, in the my post that you quoted I meant buying an E Type when new, not one now.

Not sure Jim, it seems that if a car is in the concours league the owner can almost ask what they want for it.

Gotta concur with Rich, I think the E-Type point is being missed slightly, no where else could you buy such a beautiful (in a league of its own there), fast, and well engineered car for that price.

Times that by three for a decent one Moggy! Still much prefer the Cortina to the Micra I’m afraid, the one thing that you can’t factor into specifications is character.

That is a strange story TeeJ, as someone leading a save a Cottesmore campaign (or indeed any base) there is nothing wrong with that head being a civilian. But to make those claims is just utterly bizarre and would very quickly lead to distancing from the stations’ top brass who would rumble what is going on – thus completely ruining the campaign for everyone.

Ah, brings back fond memories …

Great story! 😎

Ditto, thanks for sharing!:)

Mmm Lightning, more reliable and easier to maintain!

The Italian trade was in 1991, guesing the Spanish P-3 was the same year?
Seem to remember the unusual forward swept-wing Hansa Jet ECM being at the same show, or am I mistaken?
