This Custom, Modernised E-Type Is Worth Every Penny - Carfection 

This is what car makers should do. Keep the old style but also put modern stuff in it

That is one of the most beautiful cars I've seen

That looks way better than most super cars.

That's the kind if car that if a trifling woman says " it's me or the car", she won't like the answer!

Wow what a car! they really nailed the spec on this resto mod. Love it

looks like 12 scarlett johanssons squeezed into a motor car....bloody beautifulness

Love that grey shade in an E-Type. When I was a kid, my grandfather had a 1963 E-type coupe in that color. And the stories from that car make the idea of a reliable E-type an amazing concept.

My god, what a marvelous car ...... I’m 60 and this car is a dream for me since 55 years .... Since I saw one for the first time in the street of my grandmother in Paris when I was a little boy. ❤️

Difficult to sell to a die hard Jag lover but oh my! What a beautiful car and makes a lot of sense to modernise it. It looks incredible.

I have V12 Roadster. The attention it draws shows and proves there is a keen interest in this type of car. Enzo Ferrari is known to have said, "The E-Type Jaguar is the most beautiful car ever made".

I can look at this car for hours and still be in complete awe of its beauty.

This is like a modern vintage classic beauty !!Amazing ❤️❤️

Top 2 most beautiful machines ever made, 1. The spitfire 2. The E-type

After Alex left I had unsubscribed from Carfection as I couldn't take to the presenters. But this video appeared in my recommendations and as it was the Jaguar E-Type I wanted to watch it. I was so pleased to see Alex, and now I am going to subscribe again. Good to see you back.

Great video Alex, glad to you see you again in carfection!

That Car is possibly one of the most beautiful cars i have ever seen!

That is one SERIOUSLY gorgeous looking E Type. Car porn of the highest calibre.

I cant stop gushing over it !! Fine piece of engineering class and sophistication all rolled into one 🥰

Still the most beautiful car in the world

Lucas was the Prince of Darkness. However, rewired an gone over, the XKE is the most sumptuous of automobiles. Absolutely stunning.

That's a beautiful car, and I love that it's a modern, improved version-- improved in the right way: performance, reliability. But not in the wrong way: 5mph plasticated bumpers and fake grilles.

In my best Jeremy Clarkson voice: "But my god, is it pretty."

for the first time in my life I found a modernised old iconic car improved and pleasing to the eyes. No more ugly bulbous trunk of the e type. This is close to perfect with the added bonus of the hard top.

Since a kid (am 50Yrs old now) I've always loved the E-Type.. But then in 2015 when Clarkson showed off the Eagle E-Type on TopGear, I fell in love all over again. It was a similar feeling with the DB5, and years later (I think on TG again), they showed of a car that was a 'Ground up restomod' of the DB5, looking exactly the same, rebuilt and tuned engine, but, with modern brakes, suspension and other bits to bring it more up to date (similar to what Singer do to the Porsche 011's)... Man that thing was also a beaut!!! 🤔😍😍 😎🇬🇧

GOD ITS SOO BEAUTIFUL, I WANT TO CRY, AND A WONDERFULLY SHOT VIDEO

I have 72’ silver on red original Etype that I have dumped $90k into and it is quite sorted out. But everything you say is basically correct... and I love it anyways. But I do appreciate this car you are driving... beautiful work and the owner gets a no stress driving experience. Love the video.

I had one . It was the last year for the six cylinder engine. It had been wrecked and needed a lot of work which I did. I was working as a mechanic at that time. I didn’t think it was hard to drive in about 1974. I was younger then. Sold it for a small profit. Loved the car. Wish I still had it.

In my humble opinion this is the most beautyfull car "... in the world".

The E-type was always the best looking Jag. This make me want to sell my house and buy one.

Well, it's about time. Ive been waiting for this since 1976.

WOW, another Alex video, how lucky were all are for sure, thanks Carfection!!

Love the looks, great colour and huge road presence - if I had a few coins laying about, this is what I would be investing it in!

I love these sort of builds! Taking something already great, but flawed - and removing the flaws. How to make a car near perfect in other words.

I had a series 1 E-Type. It was a great car to drive. Good road feel through the steeringvwheel, decent acceleration, and better cornering than any other car of its era.

It's really hard to believe that anybody could refer to this as the "not good E type". I completely understand that it didn't handle great, but damn that car is gorgeous.

Thank you Alex for a great review, much appreciated.

Wonderful. This, the Citroen DS21, and Avanti, the 3 most beautiful and enduring designs of all time.

Oh man, I *never* thought of an E-Type restomod! Nice.

Great cinematography! Some interesting angles and locations. And the usual solid appreciation of an automobile.

The E-Type is like a fine bottle of wine, it just keeps getting better and better with age.

I saw one of these parked today, I was confused by the disc brakes with bug calipers so had a search, I like the way they've updated it, barely noticeable and probably adds loads. Probably worth the price of a decent house though. 😂

I love the color choice. This is absolutely one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen. P.S. Hope they scuttled the "Lucas Electrics" or it was all in vain.

Unusual colour but suits the car perfectly, what a stunner!

Wow its beautiful! The stance is perfect!

Seriously?! no one? Alex is back !!!!

It’s the most beautiful E-type I ever seen,, I love it 😍😍

I'm a first-time viewer... the video title caught my eye! Enjoyed the driver review...the low-key story of a classic beauty ....the notoriously under-performing E-Type. Once modified,, She regained Her Royal status... and back on my Dream-Car Wishlist!!

By far, the best restomod of a Jaguar XKE I’ve seen. My own personal take on what was shown would be dual exhaust pipes at each back corners of car, matching wooden handle of the e-brake to the wooden steering, up and down option of the steering wheel to driver’s preference. Again, my own preference, but man, what a beautifully done car.

The client gets what the client wants. I wish to one day climb the social dominance hierarchy to reach the status of "client"

Enzo Ferrari was right

Alex you Rock......................... great to hear your voice once again. SPOT ON

So glad to see Alex back!!

Can't say I find old cars attractive or interesting but this.. THIS is beautiful. I wan't this in my life

I’d love all these mods on a Series 1. Including that V12, which I hear can be bored & stroked to beyond 7 litres. Now THAT is an E Type I want to see. A beautiful and positively silly creation.

the gear shift looks like it'll feel awesome. that notchy smoothness.

Absolutely on the money. Many of these vintage & classic cars were absolute dogs to drive & need to sorted with modern day essentials. I've just done this with a 1931 Ford A Model & turned it from a 1931 plodder into a modern day post vintage classic,still maintaining the original look but capable of doing 100Kph on modern roads.

Good to have you back, Alex. Laser surgery or contacts?

RU-vid closed captioning AI called the exhaust note “MUSIC”! (3:19) That AI is absolutely right. Brilliant!

That is a beautiful car . The shape, The colour, the wheels, everything about it speaks classic.

Nice to see you back

Dude has one of the greatest jobs ever created....and omfg that Jag is gorgeous....

My apprenticeship was working for jaguar , I have worked and driven every model they made and must say the e type and XJS HE two door were my favourite , there’s a RU-vid Targa Tasmanian check out yellow XJS V12 for sound

They're both beautiful, and tyre technology has evolved a bit. I'm sure it corners better than the orginal.

Nice work Alex! We can feel it.

Excellent presentation.

I'd buy this over any modern day vehicle any day.

Dope video. Those retro things pulled & done in the right way.

OMG those lines are beeeeuuuutiful.

"One of thee most iconic" means what??? One of many Most of which ICONIC

this is my dream car, 20 years ago i found salvage one and left it there :(

Filmed in Shipbourne Kent! Lovely

pretty relieved to see it is not the electrified version

I had an e-type V12...The road holding was perfect...Better than any of the new BMWs and MBs I drive daily....has he ever driven an original e-type?

This and a Singer 911 are the cars that if you have you really nice taste

And thank you Matt for your contribution also, quality stuff

now - alex back - henry hopefully still here - this is the BEST car channel (PERIOD.) :-D

A timeless classic that just got HOTTER !! :-)

Can really see where Datsun's got their front end influence from. Beautiful car

To each his own. This one, before the addition of the big black bumpers, is the most beautiful and the perfection of the theme.

Stunning recreation of an iconic automobile. A proper car for those who 'live' in the 60s life

Perfect E-Type would have the V12 with the series 1 front headlights.

Alex is back! Great!

I've have owned a 1963 Series One Roadster for just over 22 years and while it has only just over 43,000 miles on it, its time for a little restoration. Would love to have air on it and a better gearbox, but don't know if I could actually upgrade it.

The white stripe on the tire with the wire wheels and the ride height makes this car stand out.

It actually looks better than the original to me as well. Lowered maybe?

IF, and that's a big IF, I won the lottery, the very FIRST thing I'll do, it's to buy THAT car.!!! And also a 3.8L, Series 1.!!! Enough said.!!!

Back in 1970 my Dad rebuilt a series 1 1/2 , even with all its faults I still lust after that car , the sound of the straight six through 1 1/5" copper tail pipes turned grown men to jelly 836 ENW where are you now ?

Thanks so much for the reply mvmallinson. I can see the thought and love you put into the car. I have a series III "72" Coupe. that I want to upgrade in some of the same ways you have so very well done. I am going to start restoring it sometime in the near future. I want it for a daily driver and you seem to achieve that. NO DOUBT one the NICEST E-TYPES SERIES III AROUND ! Thanks for the Detailed reply.

I love my f-type, but this looks amazing!

Fine machine!! True blessing from God to have one of these machines!!

One of my top fav cars right here

that E Type is stunning ..best i've ever seen

Wow! What a car. ...a proper sorted S3 E type...and better to drive than the original

E-Type UK Please apply this to so many E-types so it actually ends up similar to what Singer Vehicle Design are doing to classic Porsches!

It's good to see Alex. brings me back to the days w/ the loud revving V12 engine with "XCAR" opening sequence. #AllThingsProper.

Stunning, absolute art!

we'd call that a resto-mod here in the states, and a damn sexy one at that!!

I'm a fan of restomods like this. Why not have the best of both worlds? I believe that every classic or high performance car should have a completely stock version somewhere in the world (perhaps in a museum) for historical value, but every other model should be allowed to be altered in whichever way the owner desires. That is the point of a personally owned car. It is meant to serve you not the other way around.

Carfection. Splendid build, superior quality.

Fantastic review Xcar!!! What a beautiful machine....
