The E-Type Forum - celebrating 52 years of the ultimate motoring icon

[Phil]

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" ?

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

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