A 5 speed gearbox was fitted to the formidable E-Type to better adapt it to the modern traffic..
This week we focused our efforts on metalwork. With several restoration projects in the PKT workshop requiring panel attention, we started with the Mk II 3.8 that was in need of an engine bay complete tidy up. With the engine, transmission and all ancillaries removed, now it’s the time to correct the tired looking engine bay. We’ve started by removing the old flaky coating to exposed original factory primer, always a good sight!
We are delighted to announce the re-launch of our P&K Thornton Restorations website. We hope you find the new site fresh and interesting and will be working hard to constantly update our content with helpful information, articles, news items, and case studies. For any questions, comments and enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you!
