The Jaguar E-Type is considered to be one of the most, if not the most beautiful car ever created. It’s really a shame that we don’t get to see these achingly gorgeous art on wheels anymore, thanks to numerous restrictions placed on automakers to comply with safety regulations. It has definitely made modern vehicles a whole lot safer, convenient, and better to drive, but we still bemoan the passing of an era when car design was so much more exciting and expressive.

For those that want the style of old Jaguar E-Types without the hassle associated with classic car motoring, Eagle has been creating the world’s finest Jaguar E-Types for the past 30 years. The Eagle Spyder GT is a thoroughly modernized E-Type that offers the best of both worlds. Hand crafted to exacting standards with components befitting of modern day motoring, it’s a vehicle with achingly gorgeous with classic lines that offer a modern driving experience that we’ve grown accustomed to. The 4.7-liter engine produces 330 bhp and 340 ft-lb of torque, which may not seem like a whole lot in modern standards, but considering that the car only weighs 2,268 lbs, it can sprint to 60 in less than 5 seconds. The bespoke interior is handcrafted, with plenty of leather and attention to detail.

It takes a lot to recreate the charm of the ‘60s in 2017. To produce one Eagle Spyder GT it takes approximately 6,000 man hours and an astronomical price tag of £695,000. It’s definitely expensive, but with only six vehicles planned to go into production, it should be an investment well worth every penny. Plus, you’re getting a beautiful piece of automotive history that you can enjoy. Sounds like a win-win to us.
