Reminds me of a Jag E-type. The roofline is better than the E imho.

Sexy, yes, but “beast”, no.
The Elite Type 14 had only a 1.2 Liter engine and weighed only 504 Kilo.
For comparison, the 1963 Corvette had a 5.4 Liter engine and weighed 1,525 Kilo.

Cool car, but I sincerely doubt that is an original color. The color scheme doesn't work for me, especially the contrasting hardtop.

would be a fun EV conversion. Add a little umph to the gutless drivetrain it has currently.

S relative of mine who sold them says the main purchasers were rich kids who promptly went out and smacked up their 'first car'. They then graduated to more powerful cars (and totaled those,too).

Yeah, like the lines but the color....
“would be a fun EV conversion”
Like it!

The bidding counted down to "0" just after I clicked on the link, saving me from a decision that would have led me to bankruptcy and a possible divorce.
What a beauty!
Oh no! It's counting back down again! Somebody stop me!
