1 I've wanted an E-type ever since I first sat in one at a Birmingham car dealership as a child. My car is a 1962 roadster sold new by the Jaguar racer and dealer Peter Lindner and I wouldn't change a thing. I tell myself that if everything goes wrong, then at least I'll still have an E-type.

China now dominates the automotive world in a way even Detroit in its heyday would have struggled to comprehend.Helped by Government incentives, the new car world is dominated by China's industries: whether full cars that undercut Western models by huge amounts, ownership of storied European brands such as Lotus and Volvo, or ownership and access to the vast majority of raw materials that go into EV cars, its influence is far-reaching and deep. However, this automotive enlightenment hasn't manifested itself in the classic world in any meaningful way - until now.
