The Best Jaguar E-Type Speedster Knock-Off Ever
Finding an original, stock Jaguar E-Type Speedster is like finding the Hope Diamond. Luckily, UK based builders Eagle have created an almost perfect E-Type replica. Actually, if you ask them, they are “more than an E-Type restorer, not a maker of replicas.”
The East Sussex, U.K.-based Eagle uses the all original parts, combined with the Eagle 4.7 liter engine, which delivers a comfortable 340 lb-ft of torque. You’ll need plenty of power – the Jag E-type comes in at under 1100 kg on the weight scale.
But perhaps the East Sussex, U.K.-based Eagle shouldn’t be judged solely on the originality of the parts it uses. This Jaguar E-Type speedster should be held accountable on its own merits. The waterfall console, the custom-made 3-spoke steering wheel, the specially designed 3-eared wheel spinners on the wide alloy spoked rims, amongst other details, certainly help re-create a classic Jaguar styling. Eagle has made sure that the little touches are definitely there, and everywhere, and lay claim to making a true hand-crafted E-Type.
Eagle has been around since 1982, time enough to become a reputable automaker.
Is the E-Type replica avaialble for export to the USA?
