Martin Brundle
Martin Brundle, an Eagle owner himself, kindly took time on his way to the Hungary Grand Prix to officially hand the keys of Eagle Speedster Number 1 to new owner Dr Rick Velaj.
Rick flew in especially from the United States to take delivery.
A popular motor car
The Speedster was the subject of much media attention on the day - and was very popular with attendees.
After the event the 'buzz' on the web has been amazing - and the Speedster will be featured in upcoming magazine features over the next few weeks and months.
The star of the show?
The Speedster was, and is, seen by many as the star of the Salon Privé this year.
It is pictured next to our 1990 Silk Cut Jaguar XJR 12, in which Martin Brundle won both the Le Mans and Daytona 24 hour races
A happy man
A very contented Dr Rick - a man who started the whole process with that simple request - "I want something a bit special".
A great day - and the Speedster certainly seems to be a hit, both with Dr. Rick and the motoring press worldwide.
We have been overwhelmed with the response to the E-Type Speedster..
Across the board, we have received such a huge amount of positive feedback and very strong media interest - and a great deal of complimentary coverage from journalists, bloggers and enthusiasts worldwide.
We thank you all for your kind comments - and please look out for some high profile media features on the Speedster in the coming weeks and months.
