Very nice, but the raised bit in the centre of the bonnet spoils it, where the front vent is.

Nope.

Not the most beautiful car ever, and the silly wheels ruin it.

The wheels are fking awful

Some of the other enhancements are detrimental to the original better design

The wheels look like original wires until close up. Think I'd have kept the hood bulge as original though.

Did Kanye West choose the wheels?

I'm not keen on the colour never mind the rest of the abomination.

Those wheels made me think of this.

Not a massive fan of the wheels, but in all honesty the idea is to give an effect like the original wire wheels.

Regardless of if you like it or not the workmanship is (as usual) top class. You won't find better.

E-types are popular at the moment, rob ida is involved in a coupe build and I think there's another one too. Funny how these things go, everyone was building Panteras a few years ago.

What an absolutely hideous creation.

Just why, maybe just for the sake of change.

Poke it right up there.

All I would change would be the bonnet bulge, keep as original, and genuine wire wheels. Also the color. I think the body mods do enhance it, look a bit more 'balanced', in particular, always thought the original windscreen was too upright. There is, of course, the UK version of this, the Eagle Speedster. https://www.eaglegb.com/9/eagle-speedster

Those front bumpers make it look like it's had its teeth punched out.

Not my cup of tea, but that is irrelevant. Having watched the video, have a warm glow that there are people who want a unique car and there are still people who have the traditional and modern skills to make it happen.

The bonnet intake? - No.
The wheels? - No.

Personally speaking, the only thing I've ever thought that the E-type roadster ever needed to make it perfect, is to have wider tracks front and rear, to move the wheels out to the edge of the arches, rather than being "4 inches" inboard (and even that is sacrilege to most E-type admirers! )
