Or sometimes even better. The 1961 Jaguar E-Type you see here was barely more than a stripped chassis when it first came to the attention of the United Kingdom's Classic Motor Cars (CMC). After a thorough restoration, the car will now show off the restoration firm's handiwork at the London Classic Car Show on this week.

Tiny Aston Martin Vs Tiny Jaguar Means Scalextric Fun: VideoYou're never going to drive the Aston Martin DB10. Even if you had the money to afford an Aston, you can't buy the DB10.

Notes From The Driveway: 2016 Jaguar F-Type R CoupeI got into this business in late 2001. At the time, I couldn't wait to drive the Jaguar XK. It was a beautiful swoopy coupe that looked, for the lack of a better word, special. Then I got into it, and it didn't feel special. It felt like any other Jaguar sedan of the day--not too sporty, with an...
