Default Nearly 8 years in restoration

.... First outing will be to Motorama in Mississauga.





Restoration Philosophy



The goal of this restoration was not to modernize the car into something different.



Instead, we quickly got on the same page with the goal

to enhance spirited driving while preserving the character of the original design.



Key improvements include:

• various performance enhancements

• rebuilt suspension with modern bushings

• two-way limited slip differential

• lightened flywheel

• improved braking with vented discs and four-pot callipers on the front

• wider, radial tires for increased grip



The result should feel like the same E-Type — only clearer, sharper, and more alive.
