Creating the Eagle E-Type
Creating an Eagle E-Type takes time – the 4,000 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 the engineering, construction, testing and final sign-off, everything is done in-house at Eagle by our dedicated team of craftsmen and engineers.
-
Consultation & Selection
The whole bespoke service ensures your Eagle E-Type is precisely tailored to you. From the selection of the initial 'starter' E-Type through to specification and upgrades, it's a true collaboration.
-
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.

Bodyshell
The original Jaguar bodyshell is restored without compromise by our expert team. Around 1500 hours later it is ready for our paintshop.
-
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.
-
Eagle Upgrades
We work closely with you to define how you plan to use your car, how you will drive it and whether you have any other specific requirements. The resulting specification will be a uniquely tailored package for your perfect E-Type.
-
Perfecting the Engine
The engine is fastidiously reworked by our dedicated expert technicians, then rebuilt to your specification using only the finest quality parts.

Coming Together
The Eagle is painstakingly assembled in a pristine workshop that has been described as ‘a cross between an operating theatre and an art gallery’.

Road Test & Sign Off
Each Eagle undergoes comprehensive road testing by our experts and thorough final tuning before sign-off by our team. Only then is your Eagle ready to be released.
