OWNERS OF THE JAGUAR E-TYPE have plenty of reasons to smile, and now, there’s another one. English company Jaguar Classic is now offering a range of new, high-quality parts for the world-famous E-type, allowing owners to maintain and repair their vehicles with brand new, original-specification parts for maximum compatibility, and durability.
Joining the already extensive range of genuine Classic parts, the expanded selection now includes a number of panels that are often difficult to source. These include front cross-member assemblies, front frame assemblies, outer sills and floor panels – all of which contribute to enhanced strength and longevity of a classic vehicle. The front frame assembly, for example, is made using the original in-period Reynolds tubing method – innovative in its design originating in bicycle manufacturing, to keep the strength and characteristic of the part.
Covering Series 1, Series 2 and Series 3 E-types across 3.8-litre and 4.2-litre examples, the experts at Jaguar Classic have designed the parts to the exact specification of the originals. Classic engineers used original drawings combined with 3D CAD modelling to produce new tooling and components. Each component was then scanned and compared to the original drawings and the CAD data to confirm its dimensions all match the original specifications.
Made from mild steel and finished in black eCoat to help prevent corrosion. The panels are strong, durable and precisely finished. Every item can be purchased with confidence thanks to JLR’s standard aftermarket parts and accessories warranty, which lasts for two years in the UK and Europe, and for one year in other countries.
Dominic Elms, Director, Jaguar Classic, said, “Introducing these parts is a significant development for owners of the iconic E-type. They can have complete confidence the parts will be fully compatible with their vehicle, but also the reassurance of knowing they come direct from the original manufacturer. Every item is subject to the highest possible levels of scrutiny, with a range of quality assurance processes employed across Jaguar Classic ensuring these parts and others allow E-types all over the world to continue being driven and enjoyed for decades to come.”
