E-Type UK, the global leader in Jaguar restorations, unveils a stunning transformation of a 1961 E-Type Series 1 Roadster after 3,500 hours of meticulous work.
The result?
A bespoke speedster that marries iconic beauty with modern performance.
A Tailored Vision for the Perfect Speedster
Originally a left-hand drive model delivered to Puerto Rico, the E-Type returned to the UK for a complete redesign. The owner’s dream of a convertible crafted for warm climates inspired the removal of the soft top and a reimagined aesthetic for ultimate open-top driving pleasure.
Flawless Craftsmanship and Modern Elegance
The restoration began with a complete teardown and a rigorous assessment of every component. Extensive repairs, including de-seaming, reshaping, and chrome removal, brought the body to a sleek, modern standard. Painted in Opalescent Gunmetal, the finish radiates timeless sophistication.
A Sumptuous Interior for Luxurious Journeys
Inside, red diamond-quilted leather elevates the cabin, while the polished aluminum dash and original Smiths gauges retain the car’s classic charm. A bespoke storage space, designed with the owner’s pets in mind, adds a thoughtful touch of practicality and luxury.
The iconic 3.8-liter straight-six engine has been reengineered with high-lift cams, a ported head, and increased compression for exhilarating performance. Electronic ignition, advanced cooling, and a high-torque starter motor ensure modern reliability and effortless power.
A Driving Experience Like No Other
With a new five-speed manual gearbox, adjustable suspension, and sports performance brakes, the E-Type delivers precision handling and refined comfort. This is a car that pays homage to its heritage while exceeding the demands of modern driving.
