round. The rear suspension features twin coil spring and damper
units either side was, along with the differential and inboard rear
brake assemblies, mounted in a cradle that was attached to the cars
shell via insulated rubber bushes and stabilised by sturdy radius
arms. Inside this fine car you will find leather seats and fully
comprehensive instrumentation that is beautifully laid out on the
sports black and aluminium dashboard. This is all complimented by a
wood rim sports steering wheel to guide Jaguars responsive rack &
pinion steering. The first road tests further helped to promote the
E Type virtues, with a top speed of 153 mph being attained along
