Jaguar has finally killed off the X-Type. But worry not, because there's a far more lovely Jag on its way - the E-Type Speedster from British Jaguar specialists Eagle.
OK, it loses out to the X-Type on luggage space, but just look at the thing. Eagle has taken a 1966 E-Type and completely rebuilt it, giving the Jag a new aluminium bodyshell with a lowered, chopped windscreen.
Under the long, curved bonnet is a Jaguar-sourced 4.7-litre straight-six putting out around 300bhp and 340lb ft. With the E-Type Speedster weighing in at just over a tonne, that means it's quick - Eagle is quoting a 0-60mph time of under five seconds and a top speed around 175mph.
Eagle has created the E-Type Speedster as a one-off for a single discerning customer, but show enough interest - and a deep enough set of pockets - and they'll do the same for you.
Just don't forget invest in a pair of these goggles for the full caddish effect.
Now watch Clarkson take an X-Type skiing:

Beats the hell out of the new Ferrari in terms of everything but speed.

Looks great and won't break down, would be interesting to see if it is better than the refurb e-type shown a few series back.

Woah! I love the original E-type, and this is very true to it.

This pic is photoshopped, right? But I'm still drooling.
