Jaguar E-Type Speedster news - Posh chop - 2009

Jaguar has finally killed off the X-Type. But worry not, because there's a far more lovely Jag on its way - the E-Type Speedster from British Jaguar specialists Eagle.

OK, it loses out to the X-Type on luggage space, but just look at the thing. Eagle has taken a 1966 E-Type and completely rebuilt it, giving the Jag a new aluminium bodyshell with a lowered, chopped windscreen.

Under the long, curved bonnet is a Jaguar-sourced 4.7-litre straight-six putting out around 300bhp and 340lb ft. With the E-Type Speedster weighing in at just over a tonne, that means it's quick - Eagle is quoting a 0-60mph time of under five seconds and a top speed around 175mph.

Eagle has created the E-Type Speedster as a one-off for a single discerning customer, but show enough interest - and a deep enough set of pockets - and they'll do the same for you.

Just don't forget invest in a pair of these goggles for the full caddish effect.
