This is a car that is very easy to drive has excellent brakes that stop it true and straight. The V12's longer wheelbase gives a great ride quality and allows a longer door that makes entering and exiting the car much easier. Easy to drive around town. but really comes into its own on long tours where the power and torque can be fully explored. Summation - This is a wonderful E-type Series III OTS 4 speed.
