The Jag E-type Singer equivalent

If you are a Jag E-type fan, there is now an equivalent retro-modern "recreation" of that iconic car, similar to what the Singer does for the classic 911. It is called the Eagle Lightweight Speedster, completely rebuilt from an original E-type base car by Henry Pearman in the UK, and will set you back £550,000. :shock: That's for the Speedster. If you want a roof, you'll have to pony up an extra £45,000.

Makes the Singer 911 look cheap in comparison. For that kind of money, at current exchange rates, you could buy a 2005 Carrera GT and have $500K left over. Who would buy such a car, you might ask? According to the article, satisfied clients include architect Sir Norman Foster, dancer Michael Flatley (who dat?), and Formula One driver and commentator Martin Brundle.

Proof once again that there is "an a$$ for every seat." :lol:
