Can somebody help me finding companies that modernise classic car?
I am looking something like what is described in the top gear's episode 5
season 6 with the modernised Jaguar e-type (modern cooling, suspension,
breaks etc).
There is a company in the UK that specializes in restoring E-types, Clarkson had one as his #1 in his move "Top 100", and it was featured in the DB5 vs E-type classic test on Top Gear some years ago. Just one word of warning though, they are very expensive...
I think that's too much. Like May said on the XJ-S test it's not like you can't modify anything on a classic.
"It's a bit like owning a 15th century house: you keep the thatched roof, you keep the leaded glass, but you fit modern central heating, you have one of those smeg fridges. Of course you do, come on!"
But SL55 base in 300SL body is changing the Gullwings character. You are left with original looks only Wouldn't replica body do just fine if the classic looks is all they want. I reckon those Carlsson Gullwings are awesome though.
this E-type is so desirable but nothing like these Carlsson Gullwings
that you described...nothing better than those looks with modern
technology. I really don't know what is best though..To be logical
and buy an indifferent looking modern car or to be a complete lunatic
and give all your money to those beauties? :?
