More E- types please

Jani · 30 November 07, 16:48

It is so much fun drive with the E- types, I’m wondering why there are no add on cars are out?
Some painters like to make one?
How about an E- type cup? We need about 13- 17 additional cars for a nice cup.
I would make talent files and championships for that.
How about that?

shame there's only 24 hours in a day.

I would love to have a go at it, I already have a lot going on though.

One or two maybe.

I've got a fantasy one from GTL that I'm intending to convert, and a Historic Racer that I'm finalising, so won't be long.

Thanks guys, I think this isn’t a bad start.
Take your time, I’m not in a hurry.

I also have that dream

Two of the lightweights were also converted to low drag form so there were three in total, though the Lumsden car was designed independently and was arguably the best looking.

Odd. According to my info only one was built and it's raced to this day.
However, there are Low Drag Coupe replicas being built either from standard E-types or from ground up, using materials and technologies from the era. Magnificent pieces of automotive art.

Just to be pedantic, this was the first "Low Drag" car, built in 1962 but not sold to Protheroe until 1963. The 2 lightweight cars were converted to low-drag form in 1964.

It was a dark and rainy Sunday, so I download Gimp and start skinning.
A fictional black coupe is almost ready, now I have to play around with path and so on to get stripes on my cars.
