Although David Lane has spent most of his life restoring hot rods, he took a different approach with this 1967 Jaguar E-Type feature on Jay Leno’s Garage.
For a recent episode of „Jay Leno’s Garage“, Jay welcomed a beautifully restored 1967 Jaguar XK-E 4.2 Coupe to his garage, in which he has many cars. The Jag was restored and is owned by David Lane of Fastlane Rod Shop. While Lane had previously built hot rods for a living, he took a different approach when it came to this Jaguar. Avoiding any radical changes, Lane focused on refining and improving the way that all the parts worked and looked, from body to bumpers, to interior, to engine, and even the rear axle.
First off, that beautiful paint finish — Opalescent Silver Blue with a dark blue interior, both of which were original options offered by Jaguar back in the day. Lane modified the front and rear bumpers, removing the black rubber pads originally fitted by the factory, and the bumpers were moved to be flush with the body for a sleeker look.
