Artistic Precision - In the world of classic automobiles, some stories stand out for their uniqueness and craftsmanship. Among these tales is the intriguing collaboration between British engineering and Italian artistry. While Jaguar is renowned for its sleek designs and remarkable performance, it is not every day that one hears about a Jaguar E-Type being transformed by Italian coachbuilders. This exceptional creation, crafted by Carrozzeria Sports Cars of Modena, epitomizes the perfect marriage of these two automotive worlds.

This one-of-a-kind vehicle began its journey with a clear vision from its French commissioner. The foundation was
a 1965 Jaguar E-Type, chosen for its robust mechanical engineering and iconic style. Yet, the final product was far from
an ordinary E-Type. It featured an extensively modified body, sculpted entirely by hand from sheet iron.
The Italian artisans poured a remarkable 2,700 hours into crafting
a chassis that supported an elongated 2+2 coupé design. This dedication to detail transformed the vehicle into a masterpiece that retained
Jaguar's essence while embracing a bold new form.

The interior of the car was designed with both elegance and practicality in mind.
The front seats were crafted for maximum comfort,
while the rear seats offered more space than one might expect in a coupé of its class. The choice of materials reflected the car's luxurious nature:
a black leather dashboard complemented by red carpeting, creating a striking yet sophisticated cabin environment.
The iconic spoked wheels of the original E-Type were preserved, although a second version was envisioned with
Campagnolo cast elektron wheels, showcasing the flexibility of the Modena craftsmen’s vision.
