As promised, here’s an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at our Jaguar E-Type photo shoot inspired by Ross Macdonald’s L.A. noir novels.

Both the model Bailey West and the Jaguar E-Type were unstoppable

The weather tried to interfere but our lensman Sorin Abraham didn’t let it.

“Even when she was getting rained on she still managed to make it look good,” Sorin says.

The E-Type only looks unattainable; the Classic Car Club of Manhattan lent it to us

The E-Type only looks unattainable; the Classic Car Club of Manhattan lent it to us for the occasion.

The car is even hotter in person, “especially with the top down,” Sorin says.

We hear it even made Bailey want to take her top down but her handlers unfortunately intervened.

The E-Type is only one of the thoroughbred beauties in the CCC’s stable

“Everyone on the set was hoping the driver would go to bathroom and forget to take the keys so we could sneak a joyride,” Sorin tells us.

The E-Type is only one of the beauties in the CCC’s stable; they have dozens of thoroughbreds ranging from a DeLorean to a brand new Ferrari 458 Italia.

The Club is about to introduce a new membership plan making it even easier to get behind the wheel of your dream car.

Classic Car CLub membership now starting at only $6,800 a year

Starting at only $6,800 a year it’s literally a steal. Contact Samantha at Samc@classiccarclub.com for more details.

You can put the savings towards a posh Hamptons estate like the one we used as a backdrop….
