No I don't own this. Yes I would happily sell the E-type and sell my soul for one with a firepump engine. We were at a BRDC day and someone had an eleven with a firepump engine in - sounded rather good.
Does anyone own one? If so can see some pictures. Better still I want to hear the engine.
I would love to have one of these to do hillclimbs with and maybe the odd sprint too.
I also wonder if they are harder to maintain than my Jag. I do have a heavily modified Midget and we often have to make things to fit.

Thank you

A quite like my a-series still. It makes a pitful 125bhp though.

To be honest it would have to be another car. The midget is a bit dull in terms of aesthetics

Paul Matty do some very very nice cars. We often see them at Prescott.

And for the record, I really don't like red cars at all. I am most disappointed as my Jag was orginally gunmetal grey with a red leather interior but clearly the last restorer had a taste bypass and resprayed the thing red.
