The 5.3-liter V12 was designed with Americans in mind, and its long legs and effortless torque make the E-Type an ideal long-distance cruiser. They’re also surprisingly easy to maintain (a skilled hobbyist could tune those side-draft carburetors.) It’s no problem for this big cat to maintain normal highway speeds, but jabbing the accelerator results in a massive rush of torque and the most spine-tingling exhaust note this side of a Ferrari. The three-speed automatic transmission is a Borg Warner model that has the robustness to handle all this power. But more than just a proper setup, this roadster has been properly maintained.
