Restoration

At E-Type UK, we specialise exclusively in the restoration of the iconic E-Type Jaguar, with a dedicated team of craftsmen and specialists who live and breathe this legendary marque. Our passion for the E-Type is personal, and that connection drives the consistent, high-quality results we are proud to deliver. With every restoration project, our focus remains fixed on precision, authenticity, and excellence, ensuring that each car receives the attention and care it truly deserves.

From traditional panel beating and expert paintwork to precision welding, interior trimming, and mechanical refinement, our in-house team covers every discipline necessary for a flawless restoration. Whether you're seeking a faithful factory-original rebuild or a bespoke upgrade for modern performance and comfort, our expert-led process guarantees exceptional results. We understand the true value of your E-Type Jaguar, and we treat every vehicle with the respect and expertise it warrants, making your dream restoration a reality.

As E-Type Jaguar Restorers, E-Type UK understands the importance of performance and reliability, and that’s why all our restorations must abide by what we call The Geneva Principle. Every car we build must be perfect enough to sit under the bright lights of that Geneva show stand, as well as fast and reliable to undertake a mad dash south  - LEARN MORE HERE

We love our work and we love these cars. Below you can find the current and past restoration E-type stories.
