As far as red 458 coupes go this one is a 9/10
I would give it a 10/10 if the wheels were black and the brake calipers yellow
Dat black roof is so sick!

You should also make a note to not talk to Brian anymore he will give you bad ideas seven days a week.

Sound advice.
Anyway, I told myself long ago that I would never buy an E-Type ever again but it's photos like this that make me reconsider.
I mean just look at it, it's perfect in just about every way possible. Also, it was the first sportscar I bought my wife after we were married.

We'll see. Thankfully they do have upgrades for E-Types to make them more reliable now.

I always wondered about that. So many cool classic Jags that would benefit from electronics upgrades.
It would be really neat to purchase an 80s V12 coupe for cheap and then upgrade it to be more reliable. I wonder if that's doable.

wow! They literally sell anything you could possibly need or want!
This sounds like an expensive but awesome idea!

Indeed. However, they don't sell their parts to you unless you buy an E-Type through them. I'll have to look into companies that perform similar work here in the US.
I was definitely quite surprised by their prices. Wow that's a huge amount of money.

I know. A black Series I E-Type Convertible with red or brown/dark tan leather. Pretty much perfection in my book.
