These guys really are living the dream. Doing what they love on their own terms. Building rolling art in small quantities. Making everyone that sees their work happier. If everyone could be so lucky.

[@tkreitler]

Most of us were either too scared to attempt it or knew we didn't have the talent to succeed. I was both of those but damn, I wish I would have at least tried. That must be a tremendously satisfying job.

They’re building replicas and ruin original cars so they don’t have to sell them as a new car.

[@cbdoil4082]

Miska, I don’t see it that way. You too can purchase these cars and do with them as you see fit. Causes it belongs to you. I live in a area that is extremely high demand. And people build works of art. Then in less than twenty years they sell and the next person who suffered to achieve their dream, tears down to build their dream house. Have seen it happen over 100 times on my island.

[@garybarton3622]

I'm very lucky to be able to say that my engineering company produce a few small parts for these beautiful cars and that I have had the pleasure of working with Paul Brace and the team at Eagle on many times. We always get a bit exited when we get an email from them saying "can you make these ........."

[@MrGaryGG48]

That must be really satisfying to have your name on the list of supplier/sources for a project like one of the Eagle cars. You should be very proud to have one of your products included in one of these cars. Well done!

"we're a very small company with no intention of getting bigger". that is such a great mindset, very underappreciated nowadays. everybody always just wants growth, and it's destroying the economy and society. this just feels very healthy.

[@CFox.7]

Exactly. I'd rather see more small companies than large, impersonal companies and corporations that treat the client and staff like a number

[@jcdawg8363]

It is a nice sentiment but to remain small a company has to have high margins on each unit sold. These cars sell for close to $1 million each and I am certain the margins are quite healthy. If GM or Ford or Toyota were building hand made, very limited production vehicles and selling them for extremely high prices, they would probably be small companies as well. I am glad companies that value true craftsmanship exist and can survive but I'm also glad that large, high volume companies exist as well so the public can afford to own automobiles.

[@hankwilliams5622]

Ferrari never said anything of the sort and no credible evidence to support it has ever been produced; and knowing Ferrari's reputed personality, something he would have never said, given his opinion of brit "machinery" and the fact that the 250 LM, 250 SWB had been drawn and GTO had just been released. In fact, it has been disproven several times and the JCNA so concluded after a detailed investigation. Sorry.

[@lumpymcphoomph5717]

In '76, a scruffy 3.8 coupe I had purchased, with a shot engine, was finally refitted with a fresh, rebuilt 3.8 block, just in time to drive down from Vermont to Connecticut, to my parent's house for Thanksgiving. A gorgeous morning as I pulled onto Interstate I-91 (exit 4, Putney). Within minutes I'd attracted a Mako shark Vette, and shortly thereafter, a 911, joined our little convoy. From Brattleboro to Hartford, we cruised in the passing lane, until first the 911, and a few miles further the Corvette took exits off the highway. Thumbs up from both. A fun ride I'll never forget...

[@DANTHETUBEMAN]

Not one bad decision on that car, the Eagle is a new classic, perfection in our times. Congratulations.

Could listen to this guy all day, such passion and joy in what he does. The cars he churns out are simply incredible and if I had the money I would order one in a heartbeat. Thank goodness the car world still has companies like Eagle

[@bulwinkle]

I was 10 years old when I saw my first E Type and immediately fell in love with it. I have never seen, to my eye, a prettier car. These Eagle productions look like they do justice to the originals.

[@hankwilliams5622]

0:33 Wow! That drafting machine is really 'old school'! I started my engineering career as a draftsman in 1966 using a drafting machine that was at least 2 generations more modern than that! The horizontal slide on those old timers would easily lose its angle and repeatability in a maddening way, which I soon discovered in grammar school drafting classes. CAD has been the way to go for 40 years! ...and yet they use rapid prototyping that requires CAD models! WTF? Anyway, it's good to see that they're resurrecting the most beautiful car ever; the XKE!

[@chrisdixon7305]

My very first car at the age of nineteen was a 1963 E-type "fixed head coupe" that had a 3.8l engine and a 1966 full-syncro transmission. It was a real head-turner in light blue metallic paint and it went like stink although it was nose-heavy on tight corners and started to float at around 130 mph. It was seasonally driven - completely impractical in a Manitoba winter, Wire wheels, knock-off hubs, a near side and an off side. I consider myself very lucky, and of only I knew then what I know now . . .

[@mjloewen5798]

Hey Chris, I had a 1964 convertible in Winnipeg for a couple of years. Rebuilt the 3.8 myself and absolutely loved this car except for the non synchro gearbox. Sadly, had to sell it knowing that I would regret it terribly in the future. Wish I still had it !
