text: Back in 1965 I managed to get my hands on a 1963 E-Type. It had low mileage and was  British Racing Green. I loved it!  Driving around London it was noticed by quite a few people who stared into the windows probably wondering if we were famous people! One day on the M1 I tried out the top speed, I had a friend with me and although they had introduced a speed limit I couldn't  resist the temptation. I pushed the accelerator to the floor we eventually saw the needle nearing 150 mph. A white DB4 had come alongside me but fell back. It was a fabulous crumpet catching car! I'm old now but I dream about those days. I now drive a Sonata turbo and it is slightly faster than the Jag, has a top speed of 153 mph I have read, going to try it soon before I reach 85!
