Its sleek, attractive lines catch the eye, yet beneath the glossy finish it hides a trick. Viewers are introduced to this vehicle as the focal point of the story, with its deceptive charm driving the narrative forward. The vehicle in question is a Challenger E‑Type. Though it looks like an authentic classic, it is in fact a fibreglass replica, fashioned from an original E‑Type mould. This construction method gives the car its convincing appearance while remaining a copy rather than a genuine period piece.
