Anyone know anywhere in the Midlands that will hire an E-Type Jaguar for the day? Preferably soft-top. Date mid - end of June.

Thanks.

Soft Top, Yes in Azure Blue with Beige Leather, not really that much fun to drive, fastish but it never runs right, the steering is to light and the brakes arent up to modern standards, it gets very hot in the cabin on summer days if in traffic and the fumes gas you.

good points, the noise, sounds superb, makes a Scoob sound as soulful as a blender, looks of laydeeez (to use a Maxpowerism) and general feel good factor, also upstaging Porsche and to a lesser extent Ferrari drivers.

Mice, unfortunately not, I only get a go cos it was his dads (who never used it) but I was put on the insurance being trusted son in law, I married his daughter so its only a car, plus I had a lot better track record than his 3 sons !

To be honest, Theres loads of cars I would rather have myself, mate a work has a Tickford Capri and I prefer that, more my era and a bit less flash !

This company is midlands based

http://www.theopenroad.co.uk/intro.html

I know they have an E Type Coupé, not sure about a convertible and Elaine and Tony are real enthusiasts. They do a lot of the same classic events that I do, such as the MSA Euroclassic.

Worth giving them a ring anyway.

Kind regards,

Robin
