No. The reason I'm not a big fan of the E type when the rest of the World adores it,
is because I detest cars that are underwheeled for the bodywork - those wheelarches
need to have the wheels at the very edge even if the tyres are skinny - a la GS!

Is it any accident the head on shot showing the bulbous wheelarches is miles away?

Only if it was going to be scrapped :shock: i hate that bodykit a rear or front view makes it look like a Comma van with the body overhanging the wheelbase like that, and dont you think it has a bit of a Sierra ish look to the front end?
It is different though

I was expecting an enormous interceptor style wrap around rear screen and large vents in the front wings.......

This thing looks hideous, and can you imagine the number of dents and scratches those front wheel spats would pick up.

Those old Commer vans looked quite cool and a lot better than that Xm effort mind,
even accepting what I've just said about being underwheeled!
