Jaguar E-Type restored to former glory
Thursday 5th May 2011, 11:45AM BST.
After 47 years, the special Jaguar E-type which has been painstakingly restored back to its former glory
One of the most important and valuable Jaguar cars ever built was being unveiled in Bridgnorth today after 7,000 hours of restoration.
The only factory-built Low Drag Lightweight E-type has been put back together in one of the most complex restorations ever, and is now thought to be worth around £5 million.
When it crashed at the Montlhery circuit near Paris in 1964, killing driver Peter Lindner, the car was so badly mangled that a complete restoration was thought to be impossible.
Now, 47 years later, it has been returned to its former glory following a painstaking restoration which used more than 90 per cent of the original parts.
The restoration was started four years ago by Peter Neumark through his Bridgnorth-based Classic Motor Car business.
