Just look at it. Gobsmacked? Wait until you see the price tag.

This is the latest reborn E-Type from British manufacturer Eagle, called the Spyder GT. And it is nothing short of glorious.

Every last nut and bolt is bespoke with modern-day components beautifully crafted into the shell of the iconic and achingly pretty 60s Jaguar. Want one? So do we!

But you'll need close to £1million in the bank to make this dream a reality.

Do you think they've built in the prerequisite galvanic corrosion that did so many of the XKEs in?

I wish "Top Gear" (as I came to enjoy it, with Clarkson, May, and Hammond; sat up until after 3:00 AM last night watching re-runs on BBC America, in fact) was still around.  I'd love to see them play with this — and you know damned well they would — as well as see The Stig take it for a hot-lap around the old Dunsfeld airdrome.

Don't forget the leaking external oil lines. And the joy of balancing those SU carbs(after you check the oil--in the carbs) Snailgate

BBC Top Gear gave this car their highest praise.
