Electronic Ignition

Consistent Starting, Cleaner Running, Greater Confidence

Original ignition systems are a defining part of the E-Type’s character, but they can also be one of the least forgiving components in modern use.

At E-Type UK, we approach electronic ignition as a reliability and drivability upgrade rather than a performance modification. The aim is not to change how the engine feels when it’s at its best, but to ensure it performs consistently and predictably in everyday use.

Electronic ignition replaces mechanical points with a solid-state system that maintains accurate timing across the operating range. The result is easier starting, smoother idle and more stable running, particularly in traffic or during warm starts.

Installed discreetly, the system preserves the original appearance of the engine bay while quietly improving reliability behind the scenes.

Electronic ignition is often one of the first upgrades owners choose, removing a common source of uncertainty without altering the E-Type’s character or driving feel.

As with all E-Type UK upgrades, ignition improvements are considered in context with how the car is used and any future work planned.

If you’d like to discuss whether electronic ignition would benefit your E-Type, we’re always happy to talk it through.
