This Jaguar classic E type has been completed resorted but it’s restorers at the Classic Motor Cars Limited in Bridgnorth thought it could do with being a bit longer and stretched it an extra 4.5 inches. Still wanting more space the guys at CMC created a Jaguar E Type trailer to match.
The stretched Jaguar E-Type is based on the series 1 4.2 roadster version and it was built for an American customer. To create the trailer, CMC joined two E-Type rear ends together and it conects to the car through a removable tow hitch. When the hitch is not in use, its aperture is hidden by the Jag’s reversing light.
The reason behind this stretching this Jaguar Classic is that its owner, Paul Branstad, wanted the legroom offered by the Series 3 V12 and the styling of the Series 1.

The stretched Jaguar E-Type has a 4.5-inch longer floor pan, a 1.25-inch higher roof line, and a lowered boot floor, required for the 20 gallon fuel tank. The stretched E-Type is fitted with 16-inch wire wheels, low profile tires, air conditioning, power steering, bigger brakes, a 5-speed transmission, and an upgraded suspension.
No information on how much this restored and stretched Jaguar Classic E type costs but we can presume it ain’t gonna be cheap.
The Jaguar E-Type is a British sports car, manufactured by Jaguar Cars Ltd between 1961 and 1974. Its combination of good looks, high performance and competitive pricing established the marque as an icon of 1960s motoring with more than 70,000 E-Types being sold.
In March 2008, the Jaguar E-Type ranked first in a The Daily Telegraph online list of the world’s “100 most beautiful cars” of all time and in 2004, Sports Car International magazine placed the E-Type at number one on their list of Top Sports Cars of the 1960s.
