There are people around that take tired old E-types, replace all the electrics, upholstery, etc, with working stuff, put in satnav, CD changers, etc, rebuild the engine -- while tuning it up to give a few dozen percent more bhp --, put in modern disc brakes all round, etc.etc.. Basically building a new car while using the old block, chassis, and bodypanels, and keeping the Look. These are, allegedly, among the Best Cars Ever. But they cost something on the order of 100.000 UK Pounds.
