The 2018 Review: Our Top 10 Restomods Of The Year

E-Type UK’s Jaguar E-Type

The Jaguar E-Type is famously one of the most beautiful cars ever made. It is a triumph of aesthetics that truly stands the test of time. However, even its V12 engine is somewhat lacking in power these days. Originally, it produced 250 horsepower, and over time, it’s lost a lot of power. Specialists E-Type UK have rectified this at the behest of an anonymous client. The carb-fed 5.3 liter V12 has had a new downdraft fuel-injection system fitted and the ECU and throttle bodies have been upgraded. The V12 has been expanded up to 6.1 liters too. The total output? Up to 283 horsepower — pretty good for a grand tourer.

The car’s brakes, steering rack, and suspension have seen a major ugprade, and the engine sound has been augmented with velocity stacks and a new 12-branch exhaust system. Inside, an Alcantara headliner has been fitted and fresh leather has been added. There’s an improved AC system too, along with LED ambient lighting, surround sound, and an engine start button. Tasteful, restrained, and understandably expensive, this is a fantastic example of a Jaguar restomod done right.
