🥶 WE WENT RACE TESTING IN JANUARY AT -2C!!! ☃️ NEWLY ACQUIRED AND ULTA RARE 1961 JAGUAR E-TYPE 🇬🇧

In this week's episode, we are testing the newly aquired 1961 Jaguar E-Type in special conditions. We were so keen to test the E-Type that we booked the first track day of the year, regardless of weather. It was interesting to say the least, when we walked the track at -2C. Never seen Donington so frosty! Testing went well and we benfited from the experience of Goodwood Revival fame, handsome Grant Williams! Hear what the Champ had to say and much more! Now that we got the first test out of the way and got a feel for the beast, it's time to go back to the drawing board and strip the E-Type all together and rebuild it properly. She's a tired old bugger and you can tell! We have big plans to race the E this season and following with pre 63 GT grids like Equipe GTS, HRDC, MRL and so on. All culminating towards Spa Six Hours in September.
