1973 V12 E-Type Roadster
This 1973 V12 E-Type Roadster belongs to a London based customer.
The vehicle arrived at Jules Bodycraft stripped and ready for shot blasting. Sills inner and outer rear wheel arches, floor pan sections, sill closing panels and a new bonnet were fitted and paint work was commissioned to a concourse standard.
Once this restoration was complete the vehicle was returned to the owner for a re-fit and interior trim. We are now in the process of doing another full restoration for the same customer on a XK 140.
