Restoration

At E-Type UK we specialise exclusively in the restoration of the iconic Jaguar E-Type. Our team of craftsmen and specialists work solely with this legendary model, bringing deep experience and genuine passion to every project. Each restoration is approached with a focus on precision, authenticity and long-term quality, ensuring every car receives the care and attention it deserves.

Our in-house workshop covers every discipline required for a complete restoration, from traditional panel beating and precision welding through to expert paintwork, interior trimming and mechanical refinement. Whether returning a car to faithful factory specification or carrying out a sympathetic restoration suited to modern driving, our process is led by specialist knowledge and careful craftsmanship.

True restoration is not about replacing everything; it is about understanding what has drifted over time and what genuinely needs correction. Years of working across hundreds of E-Types have given us a clear understanding of where reliability, drivability and mechanical integrity are most often compromised. Our work focuses on preserving what should remain, rectifying what matters and ensuring each car is structurally sound, mechanically honest and genuinely usable.

This philosophy is captured in what we call the Geneva Principle: every E-Type we restore should be refined enough to stand proudly under concours lights, yet robust, responsive and dependable enough to be driven and enjoyed properly on the road.
