Charlie’s Classic & Custom Body & Paint Shop in Somerset, UK has spent the past 18 months in the evenings and on weekends turning a Jaguar E-Type Series 1 into an amazing drift car. Purists can take comfort that the team didn’t start with a good donor or even a complete one. They actually started with separate front and back pieces that were pretty far gone. Very few restorers would have worked with these.<\/p>\n

Under the hood sits a 1JZ-GTE connected to a single GReddy T67 turbocharger that produces 480 horsepower and 490 lb-ft of torque. The original plans were to use a Nissan RB-series engine but they had a 1JZ laying around and decided to save some money using something they already had. The engine is connected to a BMW E46 330d five-speed transmission via a ABC-Clutch adapter kit. Out back a BMW E60 M5 rear end handles power to the rear wheels.<\/p>\n

The car still needs some finishing touches before you actually see it on the track. But rest assured it will be going sideways soon and you can expect to see a lot more internet coverage over the coming months of this unique Jaguar.<\/p>\n
