Creating an Eagle E-Type takes time – the 4,000 or so hours it takes to build it, and the thirty years of experience needed to do it perfectly. 

From selection of the original Jaguar E-Type through to engineering, construction, testing and final sign-off, everything is done ‘in-house’ here at Eagle by our dedicated team of craftsmen and engineers.What we consider ‘standard’ others see as ‘exceptional’.

Careful Selection

Selecting a donor e-type

The ultimate result needs a good foundation to build on. We choose a suitable original E-Type from our extensive stock to ensure the highest quality is achieved when completed.

Disassembly & Appraisal

Disassembly & Appraisal

Our expert team carefully dismantle the original E-Type. Every single part is individually assessed and any necessary work undertaken to come up to the standard required for an Eagle E-Type.

Paintwork & Finishing

The bodyshell is prepared using state-of-the- art materials and then finished to the highest possible standard. It’s treated throughout with the latest anti-corrosion and paintwork- protection treatments.
