Well done documenting everything with photos. This was the type of work I did for 20+ years and I can see you’ve done an excellent job bringing this V12 beauty back to life. Chopping the roof off right at the beginning and reshaping and refitting it was a big job. But doing a test fit of the windscreen must have been a real scary moment. Because those screens are not cheap and real easy to break if the hole is the wrong shape. Great job.👍

That was just beautiful to watch, having helped restore a few vehicles from bare metal I can appreciate the months if not years of that work that has gone into that restoration, well done.

Amazing job - I wished I had the skills, the ability, the time and oh, the money, to do a project such as this. An iconic car returned to life! Well done.

Respect. A real labour of love. I did a full restoration of a 1948 MG TC which was nowhere near as complicated as this job and know just how much effort goes into this sort of undertaking. Did you ever tell the wife how much it really cost?

Beautiful car and an equally beautiful restoration. Would love to have an opportunity to drive a car of that caliber. Love to hear and feel that V12 sing her magical melody.

Excellent job chaps. This rescued E Type ended up better than new. This wasn’t difficult to achieve as they were dreadfully built in the first place. An odd anomaly really, perhaps the world’s most beautiful car ever designed built by the worst workforce who simply couldn’t care less. Life’s odd ain’t it.

I would say that investing 100.000 Dollars or even more in a V12 coupé is not such a sound investment because these cars have not such a high value and they look fat and lazy compared to the Mk1

What an amazing job you did. The car is beautiful, and will hopefully be enjoyed for another 50 year run. Curious to know why the red primer and the white top coat reacted that way and caused that wrinkling in the white paint as it cured. The work to get the panel fit and gaps correct was brutal...good on you for taking the time to get it correct. Well done all around.
