Here is a post for petrol heads who like myself are not keen on the electric revolution but here as some may say is the future. The only problem is, you’re going to have to win the lottery if you want one. Watch the film to the end, it’s very interesting, especially the comments on what people must have thought of the E type when it was new in the 1960’s.
Assuming this car charges as quickly as Jaguar have suggested and has a good range, the two weak links with electric cars, this really could be the future, if only we could afford one!
HOLD THE FRONT PAGE! It seems the expected price will be from £120,000 to £140,000 which seems very reasonable for a car with this specification but Jaguar always used to do this, with people asking , how can they do something this good at this price? We shall have to wait and see.
I have a feeling this new Jaguar is going to be considerably better than the dreadful advert they made earlier to sell the thing. Let’s hope so as I would hate to see yet another iconic British car manufacturer go to the wall.
I am a retired actor, although to be honest I only retired because I wasn't getting any work due to losing my agent when I became a full time carer to my mother who had dementia. and the option of becoming an unemployed actor/waiter at my age was ludicrous, especially as my waiting skills are non-existent.
Having said I’m retired, I don’t think there really is such a thing as a retired actor for I am still available for work, I just don’t have an agent or any connections with regards to obtaining any worthwhile work.
I have over the years done student films when there is nothing else available, always low paid (if at all) the only incentive was always the promised copy of the finished film for your show reel which nine times out of ten always failed to materialise.
I spent many years looking after my aged mother and shortly after her death I was lucky enough to run into an ex-girlfriend of many years ago and our romance blossomed once again, resulting in us getting married in 2013.
My move to the countryside inspired me to write The Diary of a Country Bumpkin which tells of my continuing dilemmas in dealing with the rigors of the countryside from the unexpectedly large number of pollens, fungal moulds and hay products waiting to attack the unsuspecting townie.
I enjoy writing, see my play Dulce Et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori on The Wireless Theatre Company, The Plays Wot I Wrote and The Battle of Barking Creek both available on Amazon.co.uk and am very fond of classic cars so my ideal occupation would be acting in a film I had written set in the 1930s/40s, we live in hopes.
I am delighted to say that since venturing to the countryside where space is not quite the premium it is in town, I have due to the availability of two double garages acquired more classic cars to form a small collection the pride of which are a 1947 Bentley Mk VI and a 2000 Bentley Arnage.
My various blogs and websites are continually evolving and I’m sure that by following the appropriate links you will find something which will edify or amuse.
I have written a number of different books all available on Amazon, so don't be shy should you feel the urge to purchase. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mr-Joe-Wells/e/B06XKWFQHT/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1
Sounds great except the price is expected to be £120,000 to £140,000 and it takes 20 years for something like this to become affordable for the likes of myself. Should I live that long I’m guessing by then the government will not allow 95 year olds to have a driving licence.
I did try once where I suggested I might like a vintage Bentley for a Christmas present but I have to say the response was dismal. I vaguely recollect receiving a couple of sarcastic comments but not a penny piece towards my dream Christmas present.
Wow!

I can sub you a tenner towards it!
That’s very knid of you, all I need to do now is go on Go Fund Me and persuade another 14,000 people and I’ve cracked it!
With world stupidity as it is, you may well be successful.

If, at first, you don’t succeed…
Good idea but probably best not to hold my breath while I’m waiting.
