You may have read the news piece we posted a week ago about Jaguar’s announcement that their Classic division will begin restoring and retrofitting E-Types with the same all-electric powertrain seen in their E-Type Zero prototype [“Jaguar to Sell & Retrofit Electric E-Types”]. You might be more familiar with the E-Type Zero than you realize, as this was the “getaway” car that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle drove off in, after their recent wedding.
As you might imagine, our news piece lit off a furious debate online about whether this was progress, blasphemy or just…well, ho-hum. Some, like reader Michael Yoder commented, “And not have that sonorous inline six sound? Sacrilege.” Others chimed in with everything from, “What a fantastic idea!” to “How could you waste such an automotive treasure?!”
