The Unleashed by E-Type UK is a 4000-hour labour of love. And with a bored-out 6.1-litre V12 producing a sweet-sounding 400hp, it’s hard not to fall instantly under its spell. We sent John along with strict instructions not to get too attached, lest he attempt to find the £275,000 needed to turn a Series III from a seventies’ legend into a modern-day marvel…

I’m a huge fan of resto modding. There’s so much wonderful car feel and authenticity we’re leaving behind with regulations and cheapness. Cars like this really need to be happening in big numbers. You can feel the passion of the drive. Love it. 👍🏻

Saw a grey E type yesterday, gave it a bit of a tickle over the roundabout. Didn’t look like a concours example, looked lovely and well used. Just kinda made my day seeing one being used and not babied. Not many cars make me smile just by driving past me. 👍🏻

@@NCB583 exactly right mate who would suffer it. I would have taken the car straight back. Also on a car like this when even the restoration could need some fettling once it’s running in because it’s still mainly old technology so we know it might need some after sales maintenance If so he’s car might have fell into that category. And they would definitely have to do the work. And he doesn’t mention the work that needed doing so it is a bit strange. Mmm it could be all bollox talk.

Firstly, Mvmallinson was given the opportunity to return the car for any issues to be rectified post delivery.

@@russcooke5671 I did, and after damaging one of the door mirrors and rear light lens, which they denied, I gave up on them. The newly built engine leaked oil which I was told was normal. Not for a newly rebuilt engine it shouldn’t be. The newly built rear diff leaked oil, a fault for which I had already been charged! After three attempts at fixing the Speedo and each time telling me it was sorted, each time it wasn’t. The engine was shown to be overheating ( I have photographic evidence) but they said it wasn’t. The new air con didn’t work, the new radio didn’t work, the engine was completely out of tune, the door trims were a terrible fit, the inlet manifold as fitted was a prototype and should never have been used, the steering had a “clunk” in it, certain bulbs had not been upgraded as stated, the throttle cables were sticking, the new throttle bodies had been badly modified, the sun visors were not re- fitted, the rear axle had to be removed and redone after the rebuild, incorrect fixings were used on the new exhaust system, missing bolts had to be replaced, bumper bolts were loose. This is not a comprehensive list of the faults, so, after two attempts to rectify everything and rectifying nothing, how much confidence would you have in these people. I’m still considering Court Action.

I'm the proud and happy owner of a '66 in Imperial Maroon and to me this is the best E-type hands down... But all things considered there was something unique and attractive about the series 3, whereas the series 1 and 2 looked elegant and refined the series 3 looked bigger, meaner and more aggressive... I've always preferred the enclosed headlights but I must say the open headlights work beautifully on the series 3... Damn 🙂🙂 I'm gonna want one too now...

I owned a used 1966 3.8 S-Type saloon in 1974 and although I loved it to bits, the steering was just awful. It wasn't even rack and pinion, but a worm and peg style that was heavy and stupidly vague. I even replaced it with a new steering box and all new ball joints, but it was no better. By contrast my mother had a 1969 Morris Minor 1000 that had exquisite steering (rack and pinion) as did my 1953 MG TF, compared to E-Types and other Jags I have driven or owned in that period.

My old Dad had a 1968 3.4S in white when I was 15, now 59. He was working abroad so I was allowed to start her up now & then & run up and down the drive. I took it a couple of hundred yards up the road on day to spin round at a t-junction then back again - the steering box was shot and it took all my strength to make a multi-point turn & get her back in the drive again before anyone saw me. Never again.

Hmm, not sure about this at all. Fair enough, the new owner is getting what he or she has asked for, however, for all the work going in to the car, the suspension looks awful. Jaguar has long been acknowledged to have got it right, so why polybush the heck out of it, particularly as that example will likely never see any significant mileage in a what may well be a cosseted lifespan. (Writing as an ex-S3 V12 E and Double Six owner.)
