A Casio watch is cheaper and more accurate than a Patek Philippe watch.

Ridiculous argument.

Exactly. A Casio watch isn’t likely to be faster than a Patek.

You REALLY should have used the smiley DA......

I believe so.

Absolutely love it - stunning. Also loved the E-type lightweight continuation. My massive issue is the fact they can’t be road legal - that is too gutting for that money.

And totally agree with other sentimentts about Lord March comments - these are probably more original than sone of the Revival cars - I could see carbon weave on one E-Type!!

I think it's odd/funny that they put the 1AML plate on this, complete with silver digits on a black background, whereas in reality it should be wearing a 17 plate in black & yellow. Wouldn't look so nostalgic then, would it?
I have no particular opinion on the car, other than it's gorgeous of course, as was the original.

How would it be road legal though? It won't meet any of the current regs. Surely this has exactly the same issue as the E Type continuation? (unless they are using IVA)

I have no idea. My point was that this car is 2017 built & registered, even though they used 1959 blueprints.
I guess it meets a lot of the current regs though - it has lights, covered wheels/tyres, wipers, a horn etc etc. Probably more compliant than a Westfield.
