Choosing our E-Type Racecar Specification

We’ve chosen the interior leather colour and carpet colour for our Racing E-Type.

The leather will be finished in tropic orange to compliment our exterior colour. We’ve selected a matching, darker hue for the carpeted areas. We have access to an almost limitless array of colour options for our bespoke interiors. This means we can stay as true to the original or go as wild as you can imagine with our custom made interior trimming.

A Fitting Tribute: Jaguar E-Type Memorial Plaque

What a wonderful gesture! The current owner of this E-Type has paid tribute to their late family member with this beautiful commemorative plaque. We’ve also embedded one of their favourite cufflinks into the vehicle. The installation of this plaque marks the end of this vehicles restoration here with us at Bridge Classic Cars, what a story this car has to tell!

We cannot wait to hear about the journeys the new owner has planned for her.

Jaguar E-Type Restoration Project arrives at the Workshop

Our Jaguar E-Type from Beverly Hills Car Club in L.A. has now arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.

This vehicle will undergo a full restoration. We are currently discussing the specification this vehicle will be finished to. The engine and gearbox appear to be in very good condition so may not need to be refurbished. The bodywork and paint however are in need of some TLC.

Being a U.S. delivered E-Type, this car features a plastic front and rear bumper to meet U.S. safety regulations of the 70s.

Whilst at Felixstowe docks we spotted some rather interesting vehicles, including a beautiful Porsche SC.
