And this wasn't even sold in the US
Poor Jaguar had to toe-the-line as well after 1967. Never quite as pretty, especially when the tail lights were dropped below the bumpers in '69 becoming hideously large.
Now all headlights are now designed like pre-68 cars (aerodynamic) and 5mph bumpers are gone too. Go figure.

I would not call that good handling. It looks like rock hard go kart suspension way overpowered. Slides pretty, looks good, definitely not the quick way around a circuit.
I love modified cars, just that they actually be practical modifications that actually serve a purpose. As Ferry used to emphasize, "Form Follows Function"

So which would you rather have a great/beautiful car with an original dash but with many cracks/gashes in it; or a replacement dash from Lakewell, Carpoint, Porsche Classic???
So which would you rather have a early S with no oil radiator cooler in the fender, or with a brass cooler, trombone cooler, later cooler with fan, or the new S replacement cooler with a rock shield of course???

Dash- hmmm if it is not very good looking dash, then a replacement dash from one of the vendors .... but the vetting process to find an acceptable one .....
My early S came without an external loop cooler. I took careful steps to duplicate the factory's exact methods, materials and location for the line mounting studs. Then sourced all EOM lines and parts ensure the install was indistinguishable from factory.<script type="text/javascript" src="safari-extension://com.ebay.safari.myebaymanager-QYHMMGCMJR/e3196356/background/helpers/prefilterHelper.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="safari-extension://com.ebay.safari.myebaymanager-QYHMMGCMJR/e3196356/background/helpers/prefilterHelper.js"></script>
