Want a Jaguar E2A?
The prototype Jaguar E2A, which was driven by four of the world’s greatest drivers is being auctioned at California on August 15. Speculators have estimated a selling price of over $7 million.
The car is in wonderful condition. It has been preserved under one family for over 40 years. Jaguar stopped from fully-focused works after 1956, but the name has been preserving a customer teams such as Briggs Cunningham in the US and Ecurie Ecosse in the UK.
The car still has to test several features to put it in great condition. This includes a rear suspension system, as well as other key features.
Visually, the car still maintains its appeal. Its bodywork is the appealing D-type. It maintains a wonderfully proportioned body, powered by a fuel-injected 3 litre XK engine.
This car will surely get most of the attention in this upcoming auction. Its specs and features are outfitted for competition.
Can you imagine driving this thing around the neighborhood? More or likely, it will be stashed away in some rich man’s garage, who will brag about it during dinner parties. What an injustice.
This car deserves to be driven on the road at a hundred miles per hour, cops chasing you from left and right. That’s what I would be doing if I had this car.
The great thing about this deal too, is that you can install all sorts of auto parts to modify the car’s performance. You can give it enough technology to make it last for a longer time. Of course it costs much, but the payoff will probably be worth it. The suspension system has to be crafted in the same pattern as the body. And there’s the issue of wear and tear in the auto body, but that should be erased by a new paint job.
The engine can be upgraded with the latest specs available in the market. This will make the car a better vehicle for driving. But, car enthusiasts like the car as it is. It’s called preservation. It should remain the same, as it was for the great men who drove it.
I’ll try to keep you guys posted on who buy it…
