Now there is a GT version, which promises similarly gorgeous looks but with significantly greater comfort and practically. In spite of its STG£500,000 cost, the original Speedster came without a roof of any description and a cut-down windscreen. The Spyder GT gets a proper screen and a folding roof, which should make it considerably more useable, if not exactly your average day-to-day commuter car. Paul Brace, Design Director at Eagle said: "development of the Spyder GT began soon after the launch of the Speedster in 2011 and, like everything we produce, we wanted to ensure that we got as close to perfection as humanly possible.
"We're renowned for being perfectionists and our clients are too - so we took the time to develop and deliver an E-Type that stands proud alongside the Speedster and the Low Drag GT."
Henry Pearman, Eagle Founder & MD said: "like many, my love of the E-Type set hold at a very young age and has become a lifetime's dedication. The team here at Eagle have taken this love of E-Types to a new dimension by creating the ultimate trilogy of special edition E-Types - complementing the beautiful originals that form the backbone here at Eagle.
"I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved together over the last thirty years - and excited about what we'll do in the future!"
