  • Unleashed by E‑Type UK is a comprehensive re‑engineering of the Jaguar E‑Type Series III, designed to retain the spirit of the original while introducing contemporary performance, comfort, and reliability.
  • This particular car, build No.7, has covered just over 1500 miles by its one and only owner.
  • The full build specification is listed below:
  • Performance – At its core is a reworked 6.1‑litre V12 engine, developed from the original 5.3‑litre unit. With bespoke electronic fuel injection, it produces around 400 bhp. A five‑speed aluminium gearbox, lightened flywheel, and upgraded cooling systems provide a smoother and more responsive driving experience than the 1970s car on which it’s based.
  • Chassis & Handling – The suspension has been updated with adjustable dampers, uprated torsion bars, and polyurethane bushings, giving the car a more planted and precise feel. Braking is handled by four‑piston callipers and vented discs, supported by 16‑inch wheels, offering modern levels of stopping power.
  • Exterior – While the familiar silhouette of the Series III is preserved, subtle refinements improve both aesthetics and practicality. These include wrap‑around chrome bumpers, a floating grille, extended bonnet louvres, and LED lighting.
  • Interior – The cabin combines traditional craftsmanship with discreet modern features. Heated leather seats, a redesigned centre console, and a piano‑black fascia bring a contemporary touch, while amenities such as air‑conditioning, Bluetooth audio, power windows, and LED‑lit instrumentation enhance everyday usability.
  • Craftsmanship – Each car requires more than 4,000 hours of work, with production limited to a small number of units. The result is less a restoration and more a complete reinterpretation of the E‑Type, intended for those who appreciate both heritage and modern refinement.
  • In addition to the standard build the following extra options had been commissioned as part of the build:
  • Upgraded Sports Exhaust
  • One Piece Bumper
  • Enclosed Headlights
  • GPS Speedo
  • Having spent some driving this car recently, it’s safe to say that it is utterly breath-taking. The craftsmanship, drive, power and sound all leave you mesmerised. If you have read about these builds in publications, then I can certainly say that when you experience it first hand, it’s even better than you’d expect.
