Why buy from us?
This is your opportunity to get behind the wheel on a recreation of a certified British classic, the Jaguar E-Type II. Produced between 1968-'71, the E-Type II is the more mature, and arguably more reliable version of its predecessor, but still looks every bit the part. It's a must-drive for any true classic car enthusiast.With the Jaguar E-Type II Blast driving experience, you'll receive up to 3 miles of driving in the recreation E-Type II, accompanied by an instructor every step of the way. Their job isn't just to keep you safe, they'll be pointing out the racing line and showing you where the apexes are. As well as telling you when to brake and when to really put your foot down.

- We have 3 lines of communication; phone, chat and email and our customer service centre is open 6 days a week. The average answer time for our call centre to answer is 20 seconds and we have a vast help section where you should be able to find any answer online.
