When I was a kid, my dad had loads of e-types -- sometimes two at a time. But the one I remember most was a lightweight ex-race Lister (I think), that had blown it's engine and been put back on the road with a tuned 3.8, and no soundproofing!

My mother used to refuse to go in it because it gave her headaches, as it was so incredibly noisy. But I loved it.

He used to drop me off at school and then blast it back up the very steep Westerham Hill. You could hear it going for ages.

I used to tell all my friends he was a racing driver and was late for his race. Now you barely ever see an e-type on the roads, let alone something like that.

Cool times!

Great pilot. He sure knows what he is doing while passing in those corners from outside. Great braking as well.

Amazing video.

The E type is truly one of God's greatest gift to man!

I'm sure there were lots of days when the V8s ran away with it but it's great to see the inline six proving itself (yet again!).

Whoever is driving the Jag has a set of huevos. Respect. Very determined and tough driver. Wow.

What a driver. Chris ward has to be the king of the course, sideways everywhere and still passing cobras. Proper Legend.

Being in my late 20s I was unfortunately not able to see or hear these amazing beasts go nuts on the track like they were meant to back in the day, so I really appreciate y'all giving us that up close and personal view of history goodwood. Cheers

The E type is such a British Icon of the motor car industry. I have loved this car since a small boy back in the early 60's.and I still do !

Destroys seems a stretch but great racing. So much more interesting than nascar or f1 for that matter.

I just couldn't stop thinking about all those expensive body panels when the guys were just inches away from one another! Epic stuff!
