As it's Bank Holiday Monday we have extended our popular Sunday Motoring Posts to today.
The first being some follow up news and images to the story published yesterday on the "Barn Find" E-Type Jaguar.
A second post on the Simply Porsche event being held next month at Beaulieu will go out at 2pm today.
Barn-find Jaguar E-Type
A 1961 Jaguar E-Type 'Flat Floor' Roadster which has lain dormant in a garage for more than 30 years is to be restored by Classic Motor Cars of Bridgnorth (CMC).
This car was the sixtieth to leave the production line and is one of the earliest 3.8-litre right hand drive E-Type roadsters, which remain un-restored with only 65,000 miles covered from new. These early E-Types were labelled ‘flat floor’ due to the lack of a dropped floor area that increased the leg room and was added in subsequent cars.
Nick Goldthorp, Managing Director of CMC, said:
“Chassis No. 60 will be undergoing a full nut and bolt CMC restoration. We will restore every detail of the car to bring it back to the original specification. Once finished, it will be just as it left the factory.”CMC is famous for having restored some of the most historic E-Types, including Lofty England’s Chassis No. 4, the Lindner-Nocker Lightweight and 1VHP, the first RHD Coupe off the production line.
He added: “The amazing thing about this E-Type is that every original part is there, although in a very rusty and corroded condition.”
Founded in 1993, Classic Motor Cars of Bridgnorth provides a Jaguar restoration service to the highest possible standard. It is recognised as one of the worlds leading, if not the leading restorer of classic Jaguars and is responsible for restoring some of the most historic Jaguars ever built.
Staffed by a highly experienced team of engineers and technicians based at its Bridgnorth, Shropshire, workshops – which currently cover over 35,000 sq ft – CMC is able to provide an international clientele with a range of services from a simple oil change, performance and handling upgrades to full restorations and even bespoke car design and manufacture.
