My Dad owned one of the iconic Jag E-types in the early 70s. Now they
think such disgusting wokeness is appropriate to sell modern cars? It's
not.
The Es were nice but I preferred its predecessor, the XK-150. They were
recognized as stylish but a real PITA to work on. My Sprite only had two
SUs instead of three but that was bad enough. They made fancy synchonizers
that were out of my budget range so I used a length of fuel hose as a
stethoscope to get the two carbs whistling the same note, a literal tune-
up.
Overall I liked the funky earlier designs like the MGTD and TR-3 than when
the Brits tried to get modern. My Sprite was a '62, one year too late for
the bugeye. It also fell on a borderline where it had the larger 1100 cc
engine and the older marginal drum brakes. It would do 0 to 60 in a couple
of days but it was dun.
