When Mrs Monkey first set eyes on Frank Bullitt's (Steve McQueen) Ford Mustang in the 1968 movie classic
Bullitt it became her lifelong dream car,
so how does the American Automotive Icon measure up to our own British Icon -
The Jaguar E Type? .........Peg.
P.S. In case you are wondering how the Jag compared so well with sportscars boasting a much bigger engine - it's all a question of the
power to weight ratio, the Jag engineers tore up the rule book when they designed the E Type, intead of a front to back heavy chassis it had small subframes front and rear resulting in a significant weight saving.
