ECD Reveals Trio of E-Type Builds
ECD Auto Design (ECD) recently unveiled a lineup of bespoke Series 3 roadster E-Types.
Dubbed Project Narragansett Commission, Project Palm Beach Commission and Project Dallas Commission, the cars serve as a representation of ECD’s customization process, the company said, with each design featuring 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,” said ECD CEO and co-founder Scott Wallace. “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.”
Project Narragansett Commission is a Cotswold blue Series 3 roadster featuring an electric vehicle drivetrain with a 150-mile range and Italian-made Pirelli tires. Inside are heated and cooled OEM seats wrapped in tan Spinneybeck leather, along with a wooden steering wheel and touchscreen EV controls and infotainment system.
Project Palm Beach Commission is finished in silver and is powered by an original V12 engine that was hand-restored in the U.K. With 400-plus hp, the build sits on 16-inch wire wheels and is accompanied by Italian leather seats, a wood-and-chrome steering wheel, classic gauges, automatic headlights, Bluetooth connection and an Infinity Kappa audio system.
Project Dallas Commission is painted in a throwback British green and is powered by an LT1 engine.
