For many, the Jaguar E-Type Series 3 represents the perfect blend of dignity with automotive fashion. Manufactured from 1971 to 1974, the Series 3 roadster is becoming increasingly desirable among collectors and enthusiasts.
Even in its original form, the E-Type Series 3 is a smooth driving sensation. Sure, it does not offer the kind of performance modern machines are capable of, but it does offer nostalgic charm on a beautiful day.
E-Type UK is looking to modernize the Series 3 driving experience by adding a little more growl to the otherwise classy Jaguar. Their updated Jaguar E-Type Series 3 ‘High Spec’ Edition comes with new fangs and more muscle.
Right now, the market is craving retro-mod styling because many of the classics feature less than desirable performance. When a company decides to make an updated version of a greatest hit, everybody wants one.
For starters, E-Type UK increases the V12 engine’s displacement from 5.3L to 6.1L. They also swap the transmission out for an Aerospace-grade Aluminum 5-speed gearbox. You will hear this Jaguar purr through an all-new 12 branch stainless steel exhaust system. That’s one branch per cylinder for those keeping count. When this Jaguar growls, it becomes a hunter.
Of course, if you are going to run faster, you need to learn how to change directions with agility and stop on a dime. This cat has that covered. The newly installed sports power steering rack will help you corner while the front 4-pot AP Racing brakes with grooved vented disks will slow you down when necessary.
There are also several exterior updates and body reinforcements to bring this Jaguar up to speed. Stainless steel bumpers provide low maintenance durability with classic styling. Complete LED bulb replacements, including the headlights, help you stay nocturnal.
Finally, it is not a true Jaguar experience without luxurious comfort and convenience. Stay cool with the bespoke air conditioning system while the heated seats keep you cozy on chilly days. Keyless entry will keep key scratches away from the beautiful paint. A complete surround sound system with iPod and Bluetooth connectivity keeps the hits playing, mile after mile.
This remastered Jaguar E-Type Series 3 ‘High Spec’ Edition isn’t only turning back the clock, it’s making new hits. Stay tuned to E-Type UK for the chance to get behind the wheel of this updated stylish classic.
