:06:32. > :06:37.made again in Coventry. Here's our business
:06:38. > :06:41.correspondent Peter Plisner. A classic car in every sense
:06:42. > :06:47.of the word and one of the biggest Only a handful of cars have achieved
:06:48. > :06:56.such legendary status and the E`Type Originally,
:06:57. > :07:02.18 Lightweight E`Types were to be made to use as racing cars, but, in
:07:03. > :07:06.the end, Jaguar only produced 12. More than 50 years later they're
:07:07. > :07:13.now making the final six. And this is the prototype that's
:07:14. > :07:17.being unveiled in America today. It's been hand built to
:07:18. > :07:20.the original specifications. The new E`Types are being are being
:07:21. > :07:23.made here at Jaguar's Heritage Workshop and the
:07:24. > :07:36.man in charge of the project says we wanted to build them as

:08:16. > :08:19.of the Jaguar F`Type. It'll be the most powerful

:08:22. > :08:25.those lucky enough to snap one up they're likely to cost more
:08:26. > :08:29.than ?1 million each. And Peter is with an E`Type
:08:30. > :08:32.enthusiast in Worcestershire now. Peter, this car has
:08:33. > :08:45.a special magic doesn't it? I it certainly does. This enthusiast
:08:46. > :08:51.tonight owns not one but two of these. This one is the oldest in
:08:52. > :08:56.existence. I dread to think how much it costs. This red one was used for
:08:57. > :09:02.the famous Italian job film. Philip Porter runs the club and has written
:09:03. > :09:09.a book about the lightweight you type. What you think of a project?
:09:10. > :09:13.It is exciting. It is tremendous. This kind of Jaguar is perhaps the
:09:14. > :09:17.most beautiful car ever made. The lightweight body ultimate form of a
:09:18. > :09:27.beautiful car. Why were only 12 made? we don't know. It might be a
:09:28. > :09:31.lack of demand, remarkably. But they built the 12, most were raced and
:09:32. > :09:37.very successfully. Million pounds does that surprise you? aid doesn't.
:09:38. > :09:42.I think today, with the crazy prices that are being paid for classic
:09:43. > :09:47.cars, it's not out of the way at all. Why are they in making six?
:09:48. > :09:52.Widening versions of the classic like this one? is easier to build
:09:53. > :09:58.these in aluminium. They are the ultimate it tight Jaguars. They are
:09:59. > :10:04.incredibly desirable. Isn't this a vanity project? I don't think so. Is
:10:05. > :10:06.tremendous publicity. But I think it shows the confidence that the
:10:07. > :10:13.management has in their products today. The current range I'm lucky
:10:14. > :10:16.enough to have one. It's a brilliant motor car. They are exciting, that
