To the untrained eye it might look like any other fixed-roof version of Malcolm Sayer’s epochal car, but nothing could be further from the truth. For a start, this car, which has long been a dream of Eagle’s owner, Henry Pearman, is based on the shape of the low-drag racing E-type of the Sixties, which has then been modified to turn it into a more practical proposition, lowering the floor by an inch-and-a-half and adding 2in to the body, as well as lengthening the doors to improve access.
