In the early 60’s Jaguar only made 12 Lightweight E-Type cars out of aluminum, however they had originally planned to make 18 of them. The last six would finally be built some 50 years later.
This project was quite an accomplishment, but does it fall into the same issues with the Jaguar purist that the recent continuation Shelby Cobra's did with their enthusiast? Some true fans did not feel that they should have made more Shelby Cobra's and tagged them as new/old.
In this case, I think Jaguar did the right thing and it sort of finished the last chapter in the Iconic book to me!!
