Automotive Design via GlobeNewswire September 15, 2023 at 09:59 AM EDT KISSIMMEE, Fla., Sept. 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ECD Auto Design (ECD), Land Rover Defender, Range Rover Classic and Jaguar E-Type restoration specialists famed for bespoke builds, today unveils a lavish lineup of luxurious Series 3 roadster E-Types. Christened Project Narragansett Commission, Project Palm Beach Commission and Project Dallas Commission, the trio represents ECD’s thorough customization process to create the perfect vehicle for every lifestyle. Each unique design features a heritage Jaguar color and one of many drivetrain options, including an original V12 engine and ECD’s second generation EV system. “Even though they all have the same base vehicle, each client’s personality shines through in how they chose to outfit their E-Type. At ECD, we pride ourselves on the customer journey and customization process – these three sports cars showcase a small fraction of what we do every day at the Rover Dome,” said ECD CEO and co-founder Scott Wallace. Bound for a Rhode Island beach town, Project Narragansett Commission is a dreamy Cotswold blue Series 3 roadster perfect for coastal cruising. Under the hood, the restored E-Type features an electric vehicle drivetrain with a 150-mile range and Italian-made Pirelli tires. Inside, the driver and their plus one are treated to lush heated and cooled OEM seats wrapped in deluxe tan Spinneybeck leather. While the wooden steering wheel may call back to the 1960s history of the car, the touchscreen EV controls and infotainment system blend the historic feel with modern performance seamlessly. Further south on the eastern seaboard is Project Palm Beach Commission. A shiny silver, the futuristic vintage Jaguar E-Type has the ultimate throwback V12 engine that was hand-restored in the U.K. With 400+ horsepower, the build sits on 16-inch wire wheels to complete the glamorous aesthetic. Italian leather seats bring comfort to the old-school build for sunny Florida drives with the top down. The wood-and-chrome steering wheel and classic gauges add a chic touch to the driving experience. Cutting edge technology, including automatic headlights, Bluetooth connection and an Infinity Kappa audio system round out this beachy sports car. Finishing off this trio is ECD’s first-ever completed E-Type – Project Dallas Commission. This gorgeous green brings nostalgic British heritage to everyday driving. Packing a punch with its LT1 engine, this classic E-Type defines the ECD ethos of combining the old and new to build fantasy cars.
