Paul Brace is a passionate motorcycle nut who also happens to be a Director at Eagle, manufacturer of the world’s best Jaguar E-Types. He maintains a personal collection of seventies superbikes called Proper Bikes – so enjoy this video tour of the decade’s best Japanese speedsters: the CB750, H2, Z1, CBX, etc.

Paul is a lifelong motorcycle enthusiast who has always been involved with motorbikes since his youth. He is a Director of Eagle and the professional engineer and restoration expert behind the very best Jaguar E-Types in the world – the Eagle E-Type. It was voted Jeremy Clarkson’s ‘Car of the Century’ in 2000. He’s also the designer & creator of the Eagle Speedster which again has found huge favour – see jaguarspeedster.com – and very recently developed and produced the Low Drag GT.
