As the E-Type Jaguar celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2011, Eagle, the specialist for the restoration of British car that spends almost exclusively it efforts on the Jaguar E-Type thought the perfect way to celebrate the occasion with the beginnings of one of a kind Speedster Eagle.

The engine six-cylinder is rated 340 lb - ft or 460 Nm which should be sufficient to make the Speedster to have on offer performance sports car, even more so since the Speedster weighs less than 1 100 kg (2,425 lb). The issue of handling has been managed by the technicians of the Eagle, as well as they equipped with a sport suspension optimized and makes the wheel to follow more wide.
The Speedster also made a relatively low profile because of its low-floor, while the seating position of the driver is also kept low for a sportier feel.
