My mate Steve bought this E Type in California and converted it to right hand drive. I think he gat the conversion kit from a company in Australia. The car is like brand new. That is Steve and his son in the car :)

That’s lovely, one of if not the nicest sports cars ever produced.

For a aftermarket body kit that’s not a bad fit, I don’t like the bonnet holes be the front bumper is actually quite good

An old B-Class.
For some reason I had a flashback to a Irmscher Opel that my uncle had in the 80s or 90s. Not my cup of tea!

I mean you can't help but wonder if it would blow off at speed, rather than contribute to downforce.
