The 'E' Type Forum

I knew Paul Mac Cartney had an Aston Martin, John Lennon a Rolls Royce Ringo a Facel Vega and George an E-Type... but never saw period photos of this car. I came accross some period photos of George's E-Type and wanted to share these here :





and he was having a special option... I wonder what music he was listening to

does anyone knows /can trace if the car is still "alive" ?

Great pictures, Philippe. It looks like the car is still alive, as an enguiry with the DVLA (the UK car registration database) shows:

He was a great enthusiast, often seen at the early (90s) Goodwood festivals.

I wonder where the car is now.....
