Series 3 Jaguar Etype V12.

We'll be reconditioning the front suspension, changing from Auto to manual gearbox, fitting a @classic.fabs exhaust system, SU Carbs and tidying up the interior.

The customer has also arranged to have the car repainted in black by a friend of his at certain points of the build, starting with the engine frames and front bulkhead while we have the engine, gearbox, and the front suspension etc off.

A very nice, well used but very well maintained Series 1 Jaguar Etype 4.2 OTS in with us for a 5 speed gear box conversion.

The owner had already fitted a used 5 speed gearbox some years ago which is now leaking rather a lot of oil and his clucth is fairly worn, so the decision was made to go for a new 5 speed gearbox.

So with all the doom and gloom going about this beauty has just arrived in the workshop and has cheered us right up.

A genuine SS100 'Jaguar'
We completely restored this car a couple of years ago and it still looks as fresh as the day we finished it.

Ed picked it up this morning for some Pre summer work and it's exactly what we need to cheer us up

Not been able to post for a couple of weeks we've been stacked out with getting a couple of jobs finished. But now they're done and we had a bit of sun I doug out this absolutely gorgeous XK140 a customer has stored with us for a quick blast. So much fun to drive. Just what was needed on a Friday morning 😁👌🏻🏁

Today is the day this gorgeous S3 V12 is collected by its very excited customer. .
The car came in to us for a 5 speed gearbox conversion, however while it was here the customer talked himself into rather a lot more work.
.
We ended up converting it to SU Carbs, a full stainless steel exhaust system from Classic Fabs (which sounds AMAZING!) new wheels and tyres, complete front suspension overhaul with new discs, pads and calipers all round, a fresh coat of paint with a colour change to black. A new hood withbfresh new carpets and retrim inside.

Jaguar E Type Series 1 4.2 OTS in to have all the chrome work re-chromed and a new wiring harness fitted.

The car was restored by its previous owner some years ago but the original wiring harness was retained, this has now started to show signs of wear with some intermittent gremlins appearing, so a whole new loom is to be fitted. .
The car is also very well used throughout the year and the bumpers have a couple of dings in, so the customer has asked for a full refresh of all the chrome.

With the Etype loaded we're now on our way to see the guys at @electricclassiccars about a rather exciting project we are currently working on, but as of yet can't say any more than that.
