Now lets not get into an argument... The V12 E I had for a week was not the best performing sports car I have driven, but certainly one of the best looking, and it was only 5 years old at the time, so no old dog. The V12 gave off a low thrum, and for one used to four cylinders it sounded super smooth which was a lot different to the fours on Webers I was more used to, though the window frames rattled a bit when pressing on which I thought kinda spoiled the illusion of a luxury sports car at the time. By comparison a Morgan seems like a vintage sports car might do, whereas the E Type now might be determined as more of a Classic sports car..?
I remember knocking back an E that someone wanted me to take in exchange for my old Land Rover Safari which was built out of the remnants of three... I said to him do you think I`m Daft.... Amazing how our evaluation of much can alter in the passage of time... DUH..!
The V12 cane about because of the US market. The V12 was silky smooth with amazing torque (which my dad used to demonstrate frequently). Bigger cabin and a much better tourer. It had many merits but lost its sportiness
