Description
Sure, there are always many E-types available, but it remains very hard to find a really special example that passes close scrutiny. Evolution E-type offer just this sort of car. Their E Spec model is effectively an ultimate E-type, built without regard to cost with a higher standard of componentry and build quality than Jaguar could have ever hoped to offer as factory standard.
The upgrades are subtle and expertly integrated into the car so as not to upset its essential DNA. One only has to look at the panel fit and finish to see the care taken and quality. On the road the car retains that great and much praised E-type feel but every aspect of the drive is enhanced and the integrity much improved. You come away feeling this could be a reliable and confidence inspiring daily driver.
