There are people out there who believe certain cars are untouchable. Icons like the Ferrari F40 and the Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing, for example, are more valuable to collectors when left unmolested. Some unapologetic Jag enthusiasts might say the same about the E-Type, a vehicle that Enzo Ferrari himself allegedly called “the most beautiful car ever made.”
But as we’ve learned over the last decade or so with the growing number of restomod specialists popping up, almost nothing is untouchable so long as someone is willing to pay for it. In this case, the folks over at ECD Automotive Design in Florida – who let me drive their Tesla-powered Land Rover Defender just last year – have a new production line dedicated to made-over Jaguar E-Types.
