As I haven't received a copy I am resending, hope this doesn't cause to
much annoyance.
Re: attachment:
Oh yes... in addition there was black and white footage, taken through the
windscreen, of a high speed blast along the outside lane of the M1 with
slow old heaps (A35s etc.) huddling the inside lane, the middle lane being
empty. Of course there were no speed limits then, and the one we have
(70mph) is still only temporary (25 years now).
This reminds me about the existance of a video showing a Ferrari F40
blasting along a Japanese motorway at 180 mph. The driver is being
prosecuted.

Subject: E type or XKE? (the definitive answer?)
To: british-cars@autox.team.net@unet
Last night on Channel 4 there was an item on the history, with respect to
image (art), of the E-type Jaguar. In the program there were snippets of
the original US advertising campaigns (this is what we were led to believe)
,in colour, where the expression XKE was used instead of E-type. Also the
US voice over said Jag-waar rather than Jag-u-r. The cars in the adverts
had the perspex (?) headlight covers (mark1?). Obviously all the UK people
said E-type.
