Still Turning Heads After Half a Century

A classic icon, still making heads turn even after 50 years. The Jaguar E-Type — once a car that graced the driveways of Hollywood legends and British royals — now has a shiny, updated badge of honor. Courtesy of whom? It’s ECD Auto Design. Who else has the panache to take on such a task?

When Old World Charm Meets Modern Luxury

Have you ever danced with nostalgia? Ever yearned for the past while wanting a touch of today’s luxury? ECD, formerly known as East Coast Defender, has taken this desire and turned it into reality. Keeping it old-school British (because, honestly, who else does old-world glam better?), they’re giving the E-Type Jaguar an upgrade that Blair Waldorf would kill for.

A Custom Build For Those In The Know

Our very own ECD now lets anyone with near-infinite funds make the Jag truly their own. With an online configurator, the revamped E-Type is every luxury lover’s dream. 

ECD might have expected E-Type enthusiasts to keep it traditional, but oh, how they were in for a surprise. Blacked-out detailing, animal hides, and the perfect instrument stalk length (who even knew that was a thing?) are all on the table. 

Driving in the Present, With a Nod to the Past

What’s it like driving an ECD E-Type? Let’s put it this way: Imagine cruising down 5th Avenue, feeling every bit as vintage as you do modern, turning heads with each engine purr. The E-Type, despite its sophisticated upgrade, retains the quirks of a vintage British car. But thanks to ECD’s expertise, those quirks don’t overstay their welcome. It’s the perfect blend of nostalgia and now.

And for the green-minded among us, whispers tell of an electric powertrain version in the works. An eco-friendly luxury vehicle that retains its vintage soul? Now that’s a story I’d like to be a part of.

A Price Tag to Match Its Legacy

Naturally, every icon has its price. With meticulous restoration efforts, the starting price of this beauty is even heftier than the most elite Porsche 911. But when has a price tag ever deterred Us?

The Legacy Continues, But There Are Pretenders to the Throne

Of course, in a world as posh as ours, there are always alternatives waiting in the wings. The Jaguar Classic E-Type Reborn program, for instance, claims to offer a taste of the past with a touch of the present. But can it truly match the unique ECD blend of old and new? That remains to be seen.

In a city that never sleeps and where luxury rides at every corner, the Jaguar E-Type, thanks to ECD Auto Design, proves it’s still got what it takes to be the belle of the ball. So, next time you spot that iconic car cruising down Park Avenue, remember, it’s not just a car – it’s a legacy.
