BUILT FOR THE JOURNEYS YOUR E-TYPE WAS ALWAYS MEANT TO MAKE


Few cars make every journey feel as special as an E-Type. The view down the bonnet, the sound of the engine and the sense of occasion are unlike anything else.

Yet many owners discover that longer journeys can become surprisingly demanding. Higher cruising engine speeds, mechanical noise, heat and the demands of a fifty-year-old drivetrain can gradually turn what should be an enjoyable drive into hard work.

Our Relaxed Long-Distance Touring programme has been developed for owners who want to use their E-Type more often and travel further. Through carefully integrated engineering improvements, we create a quieter, more refined and more enjoyable touring experience while preserving everything that makes the car so special.

WHAT THIS PROGRAMME DELIVERS


Our objective isn’t to modernise your E-Type. It is to remove the compromises that discourage you from using it.

  • More relaxed motorway cruising.
  • Lower engine speeds and reduced mechanical noise.
  • Less fatigue on longer journeys.
  • Greater confidence in modern traffic and warmer conditions.
  • A car better suited to regular touring in the UK and Europe.
  • The character and sense of occasion of the original E-Type preserved.

HOW WE CREATE A MORE RELAXED TOURING EXPERIENCE

  • Five-Speed Gearbox
    A five-speed gearbox reduces engine speed at motorway cruising speeds, making the car quieter, more relaxed and significantly less tiring over longer distances. It is one of the most transformative improvements for owners who regularly tour in their E-Type.

  • Electronic Fuel Injection
    Electronic fuel injection provides smoother throttle response, more accurate fuel metering and dependable hot and cold starting. This creates more consistent performance across changing temperatures, traffic conditions and extended journeys.

  • Electronic Ignition
    Electronic ignition improves starting reliability and ignition consistency while reducing routine maintenance. It helps make the car feel more dependable whenever the opportunity arises to use it.

  • Cooling System Improvements
    Carefully engineered cooling improvements help maintain stable operating temperatures in modern traffic, during sustained motorway driving and in warmer climates. The result is greater confidence and less time spent watching the temperature gauge.

WHY EVERY PROGRAMME IS DIFFERENT


No two E-Types—and no two owners—are the same.

Some owners are preparing for extended European touring. Others simply want quieter motorway cruising, more confidence on longer journeys or a car they can enjoy more often.

That is why we do not offer a fixed package of upgrades.

We begin by understanding your car, how you currently use it and what you would most like to improve. We then recommend only the engineering changes that we believe will make a meaningful difference to your enjoyment of the car.

If we do not believe an upgrade will genuinely benefit your E-Type, we will not recommend it.

ARRANGE A TOURING CONSULTATION


Whether you are planning a European tour, regular weekends away or simply want to enjoy longer journeys in greater comfort, we would be delighted to discuss your E-Type.

During the consultation, we will discuss:

  • How you currently use the car.
  • The journeys you would like to make.
  • Its present condition and specification.
  • The areas you would most like to improve.
  • The engineering changes likely to make the greatest difference.

Every recommendation is tailored to your individual car. The consultation does not commit you to a predefined package or programme.
