Restoration
At E-Type UK, we specialise exclusively in the restoration of the iconic E-Type Jaguar. Our dedicated team of craftsmen and specialists live and breathe this legendary marque, and our passion for the E-Type is personal. 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 are seeking a faithful factory-original rebuild or a carefully considered restoration with sympathetic enhancements for modern use, our expert-led process delivers results that are both correct and enduring. We understand the true value of your E-Type Jaguar, and we treat every vehicle with the respect and expertise it warrants.
True restoration is not about changing everything — it is about understanding what has quietly drifted and what genuinely needs correction. A decade of continuous stewardship across hundreds of E-Types has given us clear pattern recognition in where reliability, drivability and mechanical integrity are most often compromised. Our restoration work is therefore guided by clarity first: preserving what should remain, rectifying what matters, and ensuring each car is mechanically honest, genuinely usable and built on a sound foundation.
This foundation underpins everything we do. The craftsmanship, judgement and engineering discipline developed through faithful restoration inform our wider work — from bespoke commissions through to our most comprehensive builds — ensuring that every E-Type we touch benefits from the same depth of understanding and respect for the car.
As specialist E-Type restorers, we also recognise that performance and reliability matter as much as finish and correctness. That is why every restoration we complete must abide by what we call The Geneva Principle: each car must be refined enough to sit confidently under the bright lights of a concours stand, yet robust, responsive and dependable enough to be driven hard and enjoyed properly on the road - LEARN MORE HERE
