I'm trying to find somewhere in the Hertofdshire/Buckinghamshire area that hires out E-types for a short (3 or 4 day) break next July. Does anybody know of anywhere? The main sticking point I'm finding is the fact that I'll be 22, apparently not old enough to be entrusted with a half descent car! Thanks for any help

Several car hire outlets do classic hire, some of which have the E Type.
I hired one from the Birmingham area, forget where now, exactly.
Google will find one for you, but maybe not in your area.
I think insurance will be the problem, due to your age.
All people under 30 are high risk, with car insurance.

Classic Motoring Limited in Gloucester is one.

Stratford on Avon. 'The Open Road' it's called or something like that.

Thank you all. I have tried all of those companies, but they all have age limits too high! One company has said I can hire the car, but will need to sort my own insurance, which isn't possible according to my insurance company, as the car already has insurance!

Dare i say it, but forget it altogether!

I finally bought the car of my dreams when it was 20+ years old, a fully restored V12 E Type Coupe. It was mint.
(I preferred it over the drophead, by the way, regardless of the greater value/esteem of the convertible.)

In some ways it was, yes, a dream come true, but in many other ways it was a crap car, totally outdated and with horrible steering and useless brakes, lights, ride, etc.
12 mpg wasn't too clever either!
