Last September, Jaguar debuted a concept car it called the E-type Zero, which swapped a 1968 E-type Series 1.5 roadster’s original 4.2-liter six-cylinder engine and transmission for a 40 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack and a 220-kilowatt electric motor. Based upon overwhelmingly positive public reaction, Jaguar has announced plans to build electric E-types from original cars, run through the same Coventry facility as its E-type Reborn models.

It’s not entirely clear if the electric E-types will be restored to the same standard as E-type Reborn cars, which are concours-quality and priced accordingly (£285,000, or $355,000, in April 2017). The Reborn program focuses on Series 1 (and 1.5) E-type roadsters and coupes, built between 1961 and ’68, and begins with solid donor cars sourced by Jaguar’s in-house experts. It appears that Jaguar will offer both roadsters and coupes with electric power, though this has yet to be clearly defined.

Some classic Jags are in line for a modern day repower.
