1970 E-Type Jaguar - Total Restoration |
|
Loaded up and off to the happy owner in Montana. |
|
Here’s the reward for all that hard work. What an awesome looking car the E-Type is. |
|
It’s a real thrill to drive too, and it’s very difficult to stay legal! |
|
E-Type bumpers are notoriously bad fitting. I made sure that these fit properly before I sent them out for plating. I was very happy with the plating job done by Graves, it was First Class! www.gravesplating.com |
|
Proper tools and the license plate that came with the car. |
|
Period AM radio converted to AM/FM Stereo and hard to find OEM style speakers by S&M Electro-Tech www.turnswitch.com |
|
The hood frame was in horrendous condition and had to be totally rebuilt. The tan Stay-Fast hood was specified by the owner and looks fabulous with Willow Green |
|
Although unusual, this air cleaner box showed specific evidence that it was black from the factory. |
|
Shod with genuine Dunlop rubber. |
|
B.A.S. supplies great interiors. www.basjaguartrim.com The brushed aluminium wheel fitted to the Series II is not available and to be correct I had to create the “brushed” effect myself. The replacement wood kit was supplied by Saul Chaplin at www.britishautowood.com |
|
Air conditioning was period correct and created many difficulties that had to be overcome. It works superbly… COOL! |

The battery hold-down will not fit any parts store battery. Original style battery was supplied by SNG Barratt www.sngbarrattusa.com |
