Geoff's 1970 E-Type Jaguar...
The original DOHC inline-6 cylinder 4.2L engine the E Type Jaguars came with, Not a bad unit, but with around 220bhp Geoff wants a little more power...
Nothing gets the heart racing quite like good old fashioned horsepower... you can never have enough! Geoff, the owner of this E-Type, knows that ongoing advancements in modern technology and engine development helps make high horsepower even easier to achieve, and has some fantastic plans for one of Jaguars' finest creations! A late model injected V8, twin turbochargers and custom made radiator, inter-cooler, and brake upgrade are just a few of his requirements. The Jaguar is in for some serious work, once Geoff is happy he has enough power under the bonnet, the Jaguar will be receiving full paint, panel and trim treatment to get it looking its best.
