After working on our 1972 Jaguar E-Type V12 Series 3 for the last couple of weeks, classic car technician John has been busy reassembling this beautiful classic car. Once everything was back together following the fitting of a hidden battery isolator, John conducted some tests and was pleased with the results. While he was working […]
Our 1972 Jaguar E-Type V12 Series 3 has had new manifolds installed by classic car technician Jon. There was lots of stripping and refitting to be done throughout the process but, the end result made all of the effort very much worthwhile. While Jon was working to strip components to access the offside exhaust manifolds, […]
Classic car technician Jon has been investigating the exhaust blow (blowing noise) on our 1972 Jaguar E-Type V12 Series 3. From listening to it, Jon believed that the issue seemed to be coming from the offside bank of the exhaust manifold. To confirm his suspicions, Jon had to strip and investigate this area of the […]
A new stainless steel exhaust has been fitted to our 1972 Jaguar E-Type V12 Series 3 by classic car technician Paul. While Paul was working on this classic car, he also removed the centre console to gain access to the gear selection illumination. He needed to do this in order to fit a new bulb […]
Classic car technician Paul has been working on the suspension of our 1972 Jaguar E-Type V12 Series 3. He installed new poly bushes to the front suspension which will absorb any bumps and knocks as well as reduce noise and vibration once the car is back out on the road. Everything will be put back […]
Our 1972 Jaguar E-Type V12 Series 3 had an American emissions system installed which classic car technician Paul has been working to remove. He also serviced the car to make sure it will be in the best condition possible when it gets back out on the road.

Scott has been fitting new parts into the silver Jaguar V12. It now has new lower door seals and chrome trims on the sills (the original ones were missing). Also to be replaced were the cooling fan and the thermostatic switch, because the original switch was faulty and was heating up too high of a […]
Ady continues work on the service of our 1972 Jaguar E-Type V12. We have changed the air filter and fuel filter, we have also changed the thermostat. The gas ram on the bonnet require replacing as well as the door rubbers on the window. The car is a relatively new purchase for the current owner […]

This stunning V12 Jaguar E-Type is being worked on today in the Bridge Classic Cars Workshop. The old, original oil filter wasn’t quite up to the job of keeping this beautiful V12 singing. To fit an upgraded, modern oil filter we have had to adapt the oil filter housing to accommodate the larger cartridge-style filter. […]
We’ve had an amazing weekend at Olympia Historic Automobile Fair and Auction. With our 1956 Jensen 541 taking pride of place beside the auction area, our 1972 Jaguar E-Type V12 attracting the largest crowd, our 1972 Fiat 500L seemed to get the most photographic attention and our 1959 Austin Healey Sprite getting the best feedback from auctioneer Guy, the weekend […]

When clearing out the glove box of our 1972 Jaguar E-Type we came across some old photographs taken of the car in 1998. It’s great to keep old documentation of the vehicle, however minor you feel it is at the time it all helps to build the history of the car. We love taking lots […]
