This Jaguar E-Type has recently been fully restored elsewhere and has come to us for some final checks and adjustments before hitting the road. In particular, we are setting up the suspension geometry to ensure it rides and handles exactly as it should. E-Types are first-class cars to drive, not just for their era but by almost any standard, and that is due in no small part to their wonderfully engineered suspension set-up. The front wishbone arrangement, which in many ways was a progression from the suspension found on the XK range, was far ahead of what many of Jaguar’s competitors were offering at the time. The real leap forward for the E-Type, however, was the independent rear suspension design. This was so successful that the fundamental layout went on to be fitted to countless Jaguars, including the S-Type, XJ6 range and XJS, continuing right through into the 1990s.
These systems do, however, need to be properly maintained and correctly set up to ensure the car drives as intended. We are always very happy to help fellow enthusiasts get their cars running and driving properly. Whether that is assistance with a restoration, bodywork, carburettor rebuild or suspension set-up, we have you covered.
