Friend of the shop, Dave Welky and owner of local car design firm Velke Design talks us through what all went into creating his wild wide bodied Jaguar E-Type from inspiration to driving impressions and including driving footage of this lovely sounding beast.

I like that you used a 2+2. The extra length makes the additional width look more natural. Plus, the LWB E-Type is a better riding and more stable car at high speed in straight line. I have a S3 E roadster with stock engine and gearbox but upgraded with polybushings, oversized sway bar, and adjustable shocks. The car handles beautifully and the steering is incredibly precise.

Agreed - an e-type exudes such a vibe and we love it.

I'm an ultra purist e-type fan. I've owned three Series I examples. But I really like what you have done here. More like a Lister 'special' than a modification job. Has a Ferrari vibe (in a good way). Love the vents in the side. Great car.

Yes amazing work! I too though the side cut outs on the bonnet looked like an Italian design. The red didn't hurt either 😀

Makes me think an early 60s E Type and a 1959 Ferrari Testa Rosa had a child. The red paint helps the affect. Cool!

great unique personal build . I have done a 3000 hour concourse restore on my 1970 E-type series 2 2+2 Regency red ,Biscuit interior gets lots of praise. >BUT some days I think would have been nice to have made a restomod lightweight very personal styled E-type . Good job !

Lovely job. It looks exactly as wide as the Touring Version of the E Type, also known as the Jaguar XJS. I've had the same XJS for the last 17 years. It was built in 1989.

Many will call you a Philistine, but I understand exactly why you did this. It looks fabulous. Somebody did this to an Austin Healey 3000 and that looks fab too. It is like comparing a Spitfire Mk 5 with a Mk XIV.

I would like to see one with a shorter wheelbase (this is a series 2)....maybe 100" wb instead of 96" S1 and 108" S2. A front engine XJ13~ is an idea worth pursing also.

I always loved the lines of the e-type but always thought that the body always made the wheels look really skinny. I think this is how they should have looked from the factory.
