When a company that has built its name and reputation on restoring classic Land Rover Defenders and Range Rovers suddenly decides to add a car to its menu of excellent restorations, you know it must be unique. It would have to be rare and beautiful; it would need to sit nicely next to one of their classic Defender builds. Above all else, it would need to be sporty and quintessentially British.

No automobile screams classic British sportscar more than the Jaguar E-Type. The Jaguar E-Type is the most renowned British sportscar and is known as the XK-E in America.

E-Type Nostalgia

For its time, the E-Type had an almost sci-fi look with its long nose and set-back cockpit; the car had no right angles. Every panel curved seamlessly into the next for a futuristic design that was instantly captivating and popular. Thanks to the early Bond movies and celebrity owners like Steve McQueen, Tony Curtis, and Bridgette Bardot, the car became synonymous with the swinging sixties, just like the Beatles, color TVs, and the mini skirt.

Have it Built Your Way

Building your custom Jaguar E-Type with ECD gives you the chance to have the classic British sportscar built to your exact specifications. You can take the iconic look and give it a modern twist with bold paint schemes, luxury Jaguar carpet, and rich English leather materials for an interior that is completely personalized to suit you.

You can have your custom Jaguar built with a historic V6 or V12 powertrain, giving you the authentic E-Type growl. Or choose a modern performance engine like the 450-horsepower GM LT1 V8 engine or take the E-Type futuristic look to the next level and give it an all-electric 450-hp Tesla motor.

Every E-Type is rebuilt from the ground up and meticulously restored using modern technology and components. Your imagination only limits your choices when building your custom E-Type.

The ECD Selection of Jags

Jaguar has produced several unique cars that could have been great choices for an ECD restoration. Still, none had the look and originality of the E-Type. The XK120 was an excellent car for its time, but looking back at the period with today's eyes, it's hard to believe it was considered a sports car in its day. The Jaguar XJR, on the other hand, has morphed over the years, becoming what many consider the staple look for a Jaguar, making it a little too familiar for a vintage restoration. And the Jaguar XJSC was just too much of a touring sedan to compete with the sporty appeal of the E-type.

The E-Type has become a highly sought-after item by car enthusiasts and, most recently, younger collectors. Thanks to movies like Austin Powers and The Italian Job have sparked new interest in the classic roadster. Just recently, the whole world watched as Prince Harry and his new bride Megan Markle left their wedding in a completely restored and customized all-electric Jaguar E-Type.

If you can imagine yourself behind the wheel of the classic Jaguar E-Type, let ECD rebuild it for you.
