After already having several different restomod cars, based on models like the Porsche 911, Alfa Romeo GTV, MGB or some others, on the market, now British company E-Type UK shows their interpretation of this theme. As the term implies, a ‘restomod’ is a restored car equipped with several modern modifications and significant improvements compared to the original car. While reading the company name, it’s not surprising that they used a Jaguar E-Type for their conversion. On the other hand the choice of a car from the third series, which is less popular among nostalgics and real Jaguar fans for the design changes compared with the E-Type S1, but only for its V12 engine, is a little more surprising.

However, as a presentation car for this restomod E-Type UK deliberately chose a 1974 Roadster – probably because it was ordered by an overseas customer. The reconstruction process including all built-in improvements took more than 3,000 men hours. With an enlargement from 5.3 to 6.1 liters displacement, the V12 engine received the biggest upgrade. Instead of the standard Stromberg carburettors, the engine now works with a specially fitted downdraft fuel injection system, throttle bodies from Jenvy, an ECU from Emerald and a full custom wiring loom. Due to the increased displacement the engine now produces a dyno-proven 284 bhp. Also new is the 12-branch stainless steel exhaust system.<\/p>\n\n\n
