The Series 3 has often been regarded as the least desirable E-Type, but the chaps at E-Type UK have turned this one into a modern masterpiece.

This is what car makers should do. Keep the old style but also put modern stuff in it
Have you heard of regulations?
A lot of it would require them to look into superior material choices for things like pillars and support structures to return them to a more reasonable size. Unfortunately, carbotanium composites filled with aluminum honeycomb is expensive, so nobody really wants to bother with it for pillars and such. Cars from the past that don't have to meet modern safety regulations can get away with those impractically beautiful canopies and bodies. Modern cars cannot.
I think that car makers should let the classics be classics, I see modding a 60:s car almost as a crime 😫
@TheChrispyGamer I sincerely do not think so
no dont modern stuff is crap just makes the car easier to drive and stop
That is one of the most beautiful cars I've seen
mákka the E Jag, They decided to make a beautiful car instead of trying to one up another car. It’s always better to make your design From a blank slate instead of always looking over your shoulder at somebody else’s. I personally really like the Austin Healey Mark III
mákka Yes I agree it beautiful .
I agree. This and the Mazda CX3 are probably the two most beautiful cars ever designed.
I think it is ugly. it kind of looks like a stretched vw käfer.
@@gehtdianschasau8372 In my opinion is beautiful and I am always right. I also think that if you don't agree with me you are inmoral and probably should be executed.
That looks way better than most super cars.
Derek Green all supercars*

Redstoneprime I understand that the older cars you listed are “super” cars of their era but I personally wouldn’t put them under the category of a supercar, those cars have their own individual unique caliber. I’m basically saying I only put the supercar name on the modern era of “super” (roughly year 2000+).
74' Ferrari Daytona as well
@@Redstoneprime316 These are all gorgeous cars, but the E-type Jaguar is the king of sports cars in terms of looks.
looks like 12 scarlett johanssons squeezed into a motor car....bloody beautifulness
12 Grace Kellys*
and the tail pipe is just about right for me come to think of it
Not sure if fitting 12 Scarlett Johanssons into an E-type would be a pretty sight. A bit cramped I would imagine.
Scarlett Johansson’s smokes a lot and this car does not.
.
*_12 Scarletts.???_* W.O.W..... Very compressed commentary
That's the kind if car that if a trifling woman says " it's me or the car", she won't like the answer!
Wow what a car! they really nailed the spec on this resto mod. Love it
The engine is art.
Thank you guys for your kind words and enthusiasm, it’s really appreciated.
Love that grey shade in an E-Type. When I was a kid, my grandfather had a 1963 E-type coupe in that color. And the stories from that car make the idea of a reliable E-type an amazing concept.
My god, what a marvelous car ...... I’m 60 and this car is a dream for me since 55 years .... Since I saw one for the first time in the street of my grandmother in Paris when I was a little boy. ❤️
Difficult to sell to a die hard Jag lover but oh my! What a beautiful car and makes a lot of sense to modernise it. It looks incredible.
I have V12 Roadster. The attention it draws shows and proves there is a keen interest in this type of car. Enzo Ferrari is known to have said, "The E-Type Jaguar is the most beautiful car ever made".
I can look at this car for hours and still be in complete awe of its beauty.
Still the most beautiful car in the world
That Car is possibly one of the most beautiful cars i have ever seen!
Top 2 most beautiful machines ever made,
1. The spitfire
2. The E-type
The Shoreham Boy Spifire plane or car?
@@Rob_-dv6ei i'd say the car
The Shoreham Boy there is a funny twist to your comment. My Father worked on the Merlin engine and was in charge of the supercharging and the single cylinder section at Rolls Royce during the war. See “Mallinson birthday Spitfire’ on You Tube......that’s me and my Dad in 2001! Oh....and I’m the owner of the E Type in the video
BadFellas 01 the aircraft of course
I think you could add the concord to that small list
Lucas was the Prince of Darkness. However, rewired an gone over, the XKE is the most sumptuous of automobiles. Absolutely stunning.
That's a beautiful car, and I love that it's a modern, improved version-- improved in the right way: performance, reliability. But not in the wrong way: 5mph plasticated bumpers and fake grilles.
After Alex left I had unsubscribed from Carfection as I couldn't take to the presenters. But this video appeared in my recommendations and as it was the Jaguar E-Type I wanted to watch it. I was so pleased to see Alex, and now I am going to subscribe again. Good to see you back.
The E-type was always the best looking Jag. This make me want to sell my house and buy one.
Since a kid (am 50Yrs old now) I've always loved the E-Type.. But then in 2015 when Clarkson showed off the Eagle E-Type on TopGear, I fell in love all over again. It was a similar feeling with the DB5, and years later (I think on TG again), they showed of a car that was a 'Ground up restomod' of the DB5, looking exactly the same, rebuilt and tuned engine, but, with modern brakes, suspension and other bits to bring it more up to date (similar to what Singer do to the Porsche 011's)... Man that thing was also a beaut!!! 🤔😍😍 😎🇬🇧
Unusual colour but suits the car perfectly, what a stunner!
In my humble opinion this is the most beautyfull car "... in the world".
This is like a modern vintage classic beauty !!Amazing ❤️❤️
Great video Alex, glad to you see you again in carfection!
I had one . It was the last year for the six cylinder engine. It had been wrecked and needed a lot of work which I did. I was working as a mechanic at that time. I didn’t think it was hard to drive in about 1974. I was younger then. Sold it for a small profit. Loved the car. Wish I still had it.
That is one SERIOUSLY gorgeous looking E Type.
Car porn of the highest calibre.
DanRC ** you are sooo right!
trident3b the Germans are quite adept at it you should check out the gay stuff... breathtaking
Derek Trotter LMAO wtf
Claude 😂😂😂👍
I cant stop gushing over it !! Fine piece of engineering class and sophistication all rolled into one 🥰
Nice to see you back
The white stripe on the tire with the wire wheels and the ride height makes this car stand out.
GOD ITS SOO BEAUTIFUL, I WANT TO CRY, AND A WONDERFULLY SHOT VIDEO
In my best Jeremy Clarkson voice: "But my god, is it pretty."
It's really hard to believe that anybody could refer to this as the "not good E type". I completely understand that it didn't handle great, but damn that car is gorgeous.
WOW, another Alex video, how lucky were all are for sure, thanks Carfection!!
I saw one of these parked today, I was confused by the disc brakes with bug calipers so had a search, I like the way they've updated it, barely noticeable and probably adds loads. Probably worth the price of a decent house though. 😂
Excellent presentation.
So glad to see Alex back!!
Can't say I find old cars attractive or interesting but this.. THIS is beautiful. I wan't this in my life
I have 72’ silver on red original Etype that I have dumped $90k into and it is quite sorted out. But everything you say is basically correct... and I love it anyways. But I do appreciate this car you are driving... beautiful work and the owner gets a no stress driving experience. Love the video.
I had a series 1 E-Type. It was a great car to drive. Good road feel through the steeringvwheel, decent acceleration, and better cornering than any other car of its era.
Wow its beautiful! The stance is perfect!
Great cinematography! Some interesting angles and locations. And the usual solid appreciation of an automobile.
RUclips closed captioning AI called the exhaust note “MUSIC”! (3:19) That AI is absolutely right. Brilliant!
Love the looks, great colour and huge road presence - if I had a few coins laying about, this is what I would be investing it in!
Thank you Alex for a great review, much appreciated.
Nice work Alex! We can feel it.
Seriously?! no one? Alex is back !!!!
Excuse me?
I dont get it either
Welcome BACK !!! Not to speak ill of others, it is just GREAT to have him back. I really appreciate his STYLE ... Alex, "keep it rollin' " ....
Bobby Bass you’re an idiot
Back-ish 😀
Good to have you back, Alex. Laser surgery or contacts?
Alex you Rock......................... great to hear your voice once again. SPOT ON
By far, the best restomod of a Jaguar XKE I’ve seen. My own personal take on what was shown would be dual exhaust pipes at each back corners of car, matching wooden handle of the e-brake to the wooden steering, up and down option of the steering wheel to driver’s preference. Again, my own preference, but man, what a beautifully done car.
I love these sort of builds!
Taking something already great, but flawed - and removing the flaws. How to make a car near perfect in other words.
They didn't just remove the flaws though, they changed a huge amount besides that. The change in engine capacity, the change of gearbox, the push button start, the LED headlamps - none of those things needed to be changed.
Alex is back! Great!
Fantastic review Xcar!!! What a beautiful machine....
Dope video. Those retro things pulled & done in the right way.
Enzo Ferrari was right
+romanista Doesn't matter what some "Enso" guy said. Now go read the N.Y. Times and Wall Street Journal, you seem to require certain authority in your life.
@@NeverTalkToCops1 don't say silly things on RUclips comment section ... One day someone will reply something bas as " you seem to require certain large dick in your ass." & you will be upset ...
By the way keep reading useless papers owned by Soros, Bezos and others ... they dictactes you their political point of view as they consider your brain as a tras can
He was also famously wrong one other time. "What does a tractor maker know about supercars?"
Enzo was always right.
@Jamie Mills There's no proof that he didn't say that. Why would someone have made up that he said it? I think it's likely that he did say it, but there's just no record of it.
Well, it's about time. Ive been waiting for this since 1976.
The man is back!!!
the gear shift looks like it'll feel awesome. that notchy smoothness.
This and a Singer 911 are the cars that if you have you really nice taste
The E-Type is like a fine bottle of wine, it just keeps getting better and better with age.
stunning build
Oh man, I *never* thought of an E-Type restomod! Nice.
My apprenticeship was working for jaguar , I have worked and driven every model they made and must say the e type and XJS HE two door were my favourite , there’s a RUclips Targa Tasmanian check out yellow XJS V12 for sound
I'd buy this over any modern day vehicle any day.
I've have owned a 1963 Series One Roadster for just over 22 years and while it has only just over 43,000 miles on it, its time for a little restoration. Would love to have air on it and a better gearbox, but don't know if I could actually upgrade it.
Welcome back!
It’s the most beautiful E-type I ever seen,, I love it 😍😍
I love the color choice.
This is absolutely one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen.
P.S.
Hope they scuttled the "Lucas Electrics" or it was all in vain.
Always carried a volt ohm meter. Say for those times when driving my series 2 E, and having a couple drinks at the watering hole, the head lights don't work, or no tail lights. Dreadful. Mostly corroded connections, because these things were wired like an indoor amplifier from the 1950's. Slip on connectors, fabric insulation on wires and all. Sorry I ever sold it, but have a 1965 Mark 10 that better fits my age.
Stunning, absolute art!
This car will always make a comeback again and again!
Wonderful. This, the Citroen DS21, and Avanti, the 3 most beautiful and enduring designs of all time.
33 Stradale...
@@Nemoticon Lamborghini miura
@@robotube7361 I used to like the Miura... until I discovered the existence of the 33 Stradale. Considering the Alfa has race car underpinnings and actually performs, looks incredible and is largely unknown, it trumps all others for me.
It actually looks better than the original to me as well. Lowered maybe?
Carfection. Splendid build, superior quality.
I'm a first-time viewer... the video title caught my eye!
Enjoyed the driver review...the low-key story of a classic beauty ....the notoriously under-performing E-Type. Once modified,, She regained Her Royal status... and back on my Dream-Car Wishlist!!
this is my dream car, 20 years ago i found salvage one and left it there :(
Can really see where Datsun's got their front end influence from. Beautiful car
OMG those lines are beeeeuuuutiful.
pretty relieved to see it is not the electrified version
Dude has one of the greatest jobs ever created....and omfg that Jag is gorgeous....
I’d love all these mods on a Series 1. Including that V12, which I hear can be bored & stroked to beyond 7 litres. Now THAT is an E Type I want to see. A beautiful and positively silly creation.
MLP-Hot-Rod Lister used to bore the same V12 out to 7litres on some of their Xjs upgrades, so easily possible on e_type.. I know of one owned by a directors estate that's for sale @£80k.. Puts out approx 565hp with 5spd man box.. I had a 6litre lister manual a few years ago that was dynoed at 427hp at the wheels. Only issue was the gallons per mile consumption!
Filmed in Shipbourne Kent! Lovely
Absolutely fabulous
E-Type UK Please apply this to so many E-types so it actually ends up similar to what Singer Vehicle Design are doing to classic Porsches!
A timeless classic that just got HOTTER !! :-)
for the first time in my life I found a modernised old iconic car improved and pleasing to the eyes. No more ugly bulbous trunk of the e type. This is close to perfect with the added bonus of the hard top.
Now thats what you called CAR! Beautiful.
I had an e-type V12...The road holding was perfect...Better than any of the new BMWs and MBs I drive daily....has he ever driven an original e-type?
Perfect E-Type would have the V12 with the series 1 front headlights.
And taillights, mostly.... and there is one, Jay Leno had it custom made.
Close, perfect e type would have the s1 lightweight body panels and Dunlop knock offs with the lister stroker v12. With a getrag 6spd. Yes I’ve seen one and it was jaw dropping to drive and hear and look at
Sunyata They are totally standard, factory original, untouched.
I was thinking exactly the same thing, to be honest I would want to put Series 1 front and rear bumpers and make it simply look like a widened Series 1 E-Type. It does look stunning though, brilliant spec.
v12 is slower than the straight 6 man and its too heavey v12? crazy size engine for modern age
Such a pleasing video!
They're both beautiful, and tyre technology has evolved a bit. I'm sure it corners better than the orginal.
Superb!
The client gets what the client wants. I wish to one day climb the social dominance hierarchy to reach the status of "client"
Most of us remain servers.
@@writerconsidered I'm just a poor serf
Don't wish. Do. Start by reading books about money. Rob Moores "money" is a good starting point
you're probably a client every day.
North of 400 hp V12, 6 spd, I’m a happy camper !
Wow !!! That is perfection !!! And beauty !!!
wow this is awesome!
I'm a fan of restomods like this. Why not have the best of both worlds? I believe that every classic or high performance car should have a completely stock version somewhere in the world (perhaps in a museum) for historical value, but every other model should be allowed to be altered in whichever way the owner desires. That is the point of a personally owned car. It is meant to serve you not the other way around.
Totally agree, wish I was rich, as it is, its just a dream.
Absolutely on the money. Many of these vintage & classic cars were absolute dogs to drive & need to sorted with modern day essentials. I've just done this with a 1931 Ford A Model & turned it from a 1931 plodder into a modern day post vintage classic,still maintaining the original look but capable of doing 100Kph on modern roads.
myredute I’m in such agreement with you, the car now drives like an absolute dream, thank you for your kind words
@@mvmallinson When you see what some people do with old machinery, it is a pleasure to leave congratulatory comments.
I think the original designers would be thrilled to see their design remastered. Like remastering music from the 60’s allows all the joy to really come out.
what a beauty!
Amazing like Singer with the porsche
Stunning recreation of an iconic automobile. A proper car for those who 'live' in the 60s life
One of my top fav cars right here
