Looking through some photos of my dads from the 80's
in a field, at a little classic car show in the car park, 77 RW, the first jag E-type roadster (correct me if i'm wrong :) ) sits in a completely original, unrestored state!

I was talking to the owner of 77 RW at a classic car show a couple of years ago, it certainly doesn't look like this now. I worked for www.classic-motor-cars.co.uk a few years back and we rebuilt 9600 HP and 848 CRY

Wow, that's pretty impressive :) do you know why 9600 HP wasn't really shown that much for the 50th anniversary? I thought it would've been everywhere :/

No idea mate, Id have thought Philip Porter would have wanted to get it seen. It was the subject of this book...........
