Summer 2023 Progress Update
The restoration process of the iconic 1964 Jaguar E-Type went very well, resulting in a truly magnificent outcome! Meticulous details were attended to with the utmost care, as skilled craftsmen
dedicated countless hours to breathe life back into this automotive
legend. From the beautifully sculpted curves of the body to the
luxurious interior, no aspect was overlooked. Painstaking efforts were
made to preserve its original charm while incorporating modern
methods to ensure a harmonious blend of the past and present. The
final result showed the gleaming paintwork
reflected in a resplendent shine, and the purr of the engine resonated with
renewed vigor.
BACKGROUND ON THE RESTORATION:
The couple decided to go for a mostly stock restoration to the car, returning it to its original condition. However, they also wanted to add a few upgrades that would enhance the driving experience. One of the upgrades was converting the car's generator to an alternator, which provides improved charging and also better suited for night time driving. They chose to keep the car's orignial Blaupunkt stereo in dash, but had us install a "hidden" amplifier, speakers, and Bluetooth connectivity so they can utilize audio components on modern devices such as iphones and ipads, giving the XKE a modern touch while retaining its classic charm. Our team is always happy to oblige our client's unique requests in order to make their vision a reality, and these choices are sure to enhance their driving experience!
