That’s so much better than the Chip Foose homologous offering! The work on the engine is top notch and now it is a fast, fun grand tourer. I thought my series 3 was cool but this is on another level. 😎
Beautiful 😍.......to make it perfect would be to chuck those bumper overiders for a cleaner look front and rear...jmo.....well done pal a beautifully done car!
A wealthy friend of mine had a 1968 XKE which he sold to buy a 427 SC Cobra. He always regretted selling his Jag. He recently had a XKE built for him with a Ford 302 racing engine that puts out 550hp. He still has his Cobra.
Hi, my company just does the video production. You should contact Nick, the builder and seller. He will be happy to talk to you. You'll reach him here: www.motorclassiccorp.com/used-vehicle-1974-jaguar-xke-v-12-roadster-honoring-the-perfection-and-sensation-of-the-series-i-xke-c-145/
Try Goggle: fend·er /ˈfendər/ noun 1. NORTH AMERICAN the mudguard or area around the wheel well of a vehicle. 2. a plastic cylinder, tire, etc., hung over a ship's side to protect it against impact.
This reminds me of a car show I watched on TV a few years back, Brian Johnson from AC/DC was talking to an American guy on the show about how they called car parts differently. Johnson said “we say boot you say trunk, we say bonnet you say hood, we say negotiate you say bomb the bastards”. Still makes me smile when I think about it.🤪
Yes, at the link in the description you find all the specific technical details as to what was done to the car and a ton of detailed photographs including engine and chassis etc.
V12 engine was a Documented Disaster engine. Smooooth running though... it being a V12. Stock ...the thing Made a whopping 253 completely unreliable hp. Flat rate on a sparkplug change was 8 Hours. A Very popular Mod when these were Current, was to fit a V8.. often a 383 . V inexpensive from a wreckers' yard. Far more power /torque and it was actually a lighter engine unit, genuinely improving handling as unexpected bonus.
Bollocks :-) The last thing I would want in my V12 Jag is some tired "wreckers' yard" American pushrod V8. Fact is that Jaguar won three Le Mans titles based on that engine. Which is fundamentally a very robust and reliable engine if you keep on top of the maintenance.

That engine is just a work of visual art in itself! If it never ran again, it would still be things of beauty...
Now that is the kind of E-Type restomod I love!!!
We agree. And it was such a blast to shoot this video. ...and Nick is just great and such a visionary.
How incredible, this is by far the best looking E-type I have ever seen if I had enough money, I would buy it at the drop of a hat. Congratulations👏🇬🇧
Gorgeous. The engine looks incredible.
There is a better picture here in the article that goes with the video: collectorscarworld.com/jaguar-e-type-v12-nick-soprano/
This E Type is very special indeed!
what a Jaguar should be love the V12 its very smooooooooooooooooooooooth wheelair larry

I agree, was never a fan of the Chip Foose interpretation.
Great work, congratulations on building your vision of a great car , all the best with her ❗️🇺🇸
Really special!
Beautifully done.
🙏😊
Incredible car and so very well done
That is a beautiful car. As an avid fan of Jaguar classics, I approve!
Beautiful 😍.......to make it perfect would be to chuck those bumper overiders for a cleaner look front and rear...jmo.....well done pal a beautifully done car!
Very nice
Very nice Build! However; I'd swap the taillights for the much niftier S1:s...
Wow just wow
😊🙏
So much money, so little time. What a wonderful version of life.
Beautiful rendition of the e-type. As a designer I would rate :
Front 9.5/10
Side 10/10
back 9/10
Absolutely beautiful 😍 ❤❤❤

That is some story! 👍🙂
It needs series 1 rear tail lights also series 1 front turn signal lights in mind opinion.
It is Christmas morning and I am sure that Beautiful Jag is not in my driveway. 😭
I was going to build this exact car years ago.
In your own head Jeff ha ha!
😂😂😂😂😂what stopped you. 😂😂❤
I like the mechanical mods, but prefer the original series 3 bodywork. To each his own.
Auto splendida ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
🙏🙏🙏

What year is your car? Did you rebuild the engine with higher compression?
Thank you for the video! My 1974 has 60000 miles is it a candidate?

All good except the heavy chrome headlight surrounds spoil it for me..
The circular mesh as a front grille looks weird.
It's a racing grill and light weight.
I like it.
W0W
very nice , but even with all the engine mods it still will not go any faster than the series one e-types, it's just too heavy.
I thought a fender was a bumper not a wheel arch?

the mudguard or area around the wheel well of a vehicle.

Ha ha! - no, a car fender (as known in the US) is actually the front wing in English..

@@NewtonInDaHouseYo Americans consider a servicing schedule to be optional, then blame the car when it fails BECAUSE they refused to look after it.
