Pink! :shock: ... the ultimate phallic symbol, a pink e-type.

What a sin to paint it that colour. :evil:

I'd bet it's fun to drive. Suspect you'd be forever fixing it though.... bit like an S1 really. :roll:
AFAIR Marlin bought the remnants of Strathcarron which was a very nice piece of kit but I do wonder how much cost-cutting will have affected the build in this form...

Only £102,000

Loving the 102 grand car with a disclok on the steering wheel :thumbsup

Can't be many 1 owner e-types floating around now, especially with that low mileage.
One can only presume that 'Peggy' Penelope wasn't gutsy enough to drive her pink e-Type, and despite it being for sale for the past 50 years, no one has bought it :blackeye

That isn't as bad as it sounds - if you call it 'salmon' rather than pink you might just get away with it :?

Saw a Renault Twizzy in the centre of Glasgow yesterday - actually looked quite 8) , totally silent and MUCH quicker away from the lights than anything else, took off at some rate of knots - a great wee machine for city commute in nice weather but probably too compromised for year round use.

All stickered up with "power switch"? my brother in law has one for advertising.

No plain white I think :? - certainly no advertising on the back but didn't get a good look as it was zipping through traffic
Have you had a shot? I think it looks a hoot :thumbsup

Arnold Shark in Dundee had one sitting outside for a couple of days maybe a month back. Not see it since, I quite like them, but as others have said, way to compromised.
If it had doors and a bike engine, well, that'd probably work nicely :)
