David Paddison didn't grow up in a car-loving family—he developed his passion for cars with his friends with whom he grew up racing slot cars before graduating into full-sized versions. Today he enjoys collecting classic cars and still looks to the ones he lusted after in his youth as a bucket list of must-haves. His beautiful 1974 Jaguar E-Type is one of those cars. Petrolicious had the chance to spend some time with David and his very special E-Type, one of the last sixty made.

Nice piece. Back in the day I looked down on them, but as time has past I've grown to appreciate them for being a fine touring car.
Definitely not a big fan of the look of the Americanized late model E-Types, that front grille and those bumpers are hard for me to get used to. This isn't a video but that ^^^ one is a timely reference. Found this article on one man's idea for a racing version of the new F-Type for Goodwood based on the Group 44 1974 E-Type. Here's the pic... ...gorgeous, IMHO. Might as well go read the article now.
