Helm Series 1 Jaguar E-Type

The Jaguar E-Type was once considered by Enzo Ferrari "the most beautiful car ever made," and we are inclined to agree. UK-based Helm Motorcars has reimagined a limited run of 20 Series 1 Jaguar E-Types. Transforming the iconic vehicle with modern craftsmanship, Helm put 3,800 hours of work on every E-Type they restore. Also added to the bespoke E-Type, were new brakes, gearbox, wiring, suspension and steering, plus a modern air conditioning system, LED interior lighting and a Bluetooth compatible stereo. The stylish interior is completely redone by leather expert Bill Amberg. The beauty is powered by a 3.8-liter inline-six that was completely rebuilt, produces 300 horsepower, and includes a stainless large-diameter exhaust system. Only 20 cars will be built, with every owner getting the chance to add their own personal touches to the interior trim and spec.
