WHEN Jonathan found this Jaguar E-Type it was in very bad shape. He predicts it hadn’t been used for 30 years; not much was worth restoring but he saved the original engine and tub.
He says these elements gave it the originality it needed. Other than this there isn’t a bolt on the car that he hasn’t replaced. He calls it an “analogue car in the digital age” because when you’re connected to the road you can smell the burnt fuel and the hydraulic power steering makes it feel like the car is a part of you. “It’s probably the most fantastic classic car I have ever driven.” It’s perfect for cruising through town late at night and turning heads. With bright red seats, the interior is just as attention grabbing as the outside.
