The Most Beautiful Electric Car In The World

It's a crisp winter day in the British countryside and Jimmy Hendrix plays in the background. Beth Lily Georgia is about to experience the swinging sixties as it has never been experiences before.

 Setting the scene

The Jaguar E-Type, dubbed “the most beautiful car” by Enzo Ferrari during its debut at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, exudes an ethereal presence that inspires emotion in just about anyone that comes into contact with one.

The E-Type was originally influenced by the triple Le Mans winning D-Type from the 50s and was an absolute phenomenon at Geneva where it was launched, shaking the automotive industry to the core. The E-Type has been a classic icon for nearly 60 years and is still well loved today.

In September 2017, Jaguar surprised the automotive world by releasing the E-Type Zero concept; an allelectric conversion of the beloved classic. The concept sees the XK6 engine replaced with an electric powertrain, yet is designed to retain the driving experience of the original model.

Jaguar Classic Works is the stuffof dreams for any car enthusiast, filled with vehicles ranging from the first ever Land Rover, which I’m told was recently discovered in a hedge after being missing for many years, to forgotten 90’s supercars.

From restorations to conversions, to storage and even a warehouse full of Jaguar’s own classic car collection, Jaguar Classic is a perfectionist’s heaven. Each customer deals with a sole master-builder who works on their car and the emotional attachment these masterbuilders have to the vehicles they work with is evident in the meticulous detail and artistry evident on the workshop floor.

It is, therefore, the ideal location to experience the Jaguar E-Type Zero.
