Driving down Charville Lane yesterday evening, I saw a very sad site... a beautiful, shiny red E Type Jaguar had been involved in a collision and was in the middle of the junction with Hoppner Road all crumpled up. Would have loved to have got a pic to show you, but was in a hurry.

Someone living nearby says the driver told them he'd only just got the car on the road after 37 years!! He apparently said he was hit by a drunk driver, who drove off but then returned on foot and was breathalysed and arrested when police arrived.

Usual caveat: that's all bush telegraph.

Type E Jaguar after 37 years restoration ?

Maybe the death penalty should be restored just for this drunk driver !

E types you wear them and if you are tall, you will never get one that fits.

Lets hope he take the trouble to restore it again, you don't see many about these days.

For the ladies and other who are wondering what an E Type is here is a picture....

To this day its still the very essence of a truly Classic Car.

Hey watch it! I'll have you know I had a friend who had one & I went in it many times!

Very very nice car but no back seat Pam ?

I know a bloke who called his car The Mayflower on account of all the puritans that came across in the back.
