    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👏🇬🇧

    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. 😎

    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.

      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.🤪

    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.
