Hexagon Classics offer what may be the lowest mileage Beacham 4.2 Supercharged for sale today. The Beacham E-type is destined for the classic enthusiast who requires reliability along with modern technology and all the modern features. Passionate about classic automobiles, Greg Beacham was attracted to the 'Space, Grace, and Pace' of the Jaguar cars.
Firstly, it must be said that the Beacham E-type is very rapid transit, travelling from 0-60 mph in around six seconds. Plus, it features superb steering and handling. All because it has been re-engineered from the wheels up and the workmanship is exceptional.
Externally it looks very familiar, the only real giveaways for the sharp-eyed are the contemporary Jaguar mirrors and door handles, the air scoop under the front bumper, and the bigger Jaguar competition tires and chrome wire wheels. (The latter are genuine, and original, Jaguar factory options.) However, it is beneath the skin, and inside the cabin where the most obvious visual changes are to be found. Under the bonnet the Beacham E-type is crammed full of technology: ABS brakes, traction control, anti-dive suspension geometry and more.
Trimmed in supple new leather, the modern seats have all the power controls from the current Jaguar. Included is a full complement of comfort and safety systems: Power-adjustable steering wheel, side mirrors, all with memory function; climate control and electric windows of course, even the SRS/airbag systems, as well as the addition of a power-operated convertible roof. Topped off with a premium sound system and GPS, all is joy set into a bespoke polished wood veneer dash. A new sub frame was devised to house the XKR V8 and front suspension. The integration of the mechanical components must be considered a remarkable engineering feat. Underneath the car is a work of art. The stainless-steel exhaust system, with its cross-balance pipes, is of the highest order and everywhere there are signs of the closest attention to detail. But exchanging modern technology for old is more than fabricating new engine mounts and rerouting exhaust systems.
Combining the electronic demands of modern engines, transmissions and systems such as airbags and ABS with existing electronics is a startling achievement for a small manufacturer. Beacham have put 5 years of hard development behind them to produce the current models. The Beacham E-type pushes that mechanical and electronic envelope all the way to its logical conclusion - a completely new car.
The result is a revelation to drive. Press the throttle pedal and there's no hint of wheel spin - traction control calms any of that - just a clean, clear blast of raw acceleration.
"What Greg Beacham and his team of experts have achieved at Beacham in New Zealand is nothing short of incredible. The result is an E-type Jaguar that is totally usable daily, it's an adrenalin pumper and it's a far better car to drive in every respect than the original." £189,995.00

"What we've done is give an E-Type Jaguar the total functionality of an XKR. The Beacham E-Type is destined for the classic enthusiast who requires reliability along with modern technology and all mod cons, plus a serious fun factor." - Beacham Ltd.
One of the biggest names in the classic Jaguar world, Beacham first caught the motoring public's imagination back in the late 1980s when the company, based at Hawke's Bay in New Zealand's North Island, began offering its comprehensively restored, re-engineered and updated Jaguar Mark 2 saloons. Since then Dr Greg Beacham's company has expanded its activities to include restoration and upgrades for the Jaguar XK150, Aston Martin DB4, various Rolls-Royce and Bentley models and, of course, the immortal E-Type.
Automotive technology, though, does not stand still and today, more than half a century since the E-Type's launch, there is a growing market for improved versions of this iconic model combining its beautiful classic looks with modern performance, handling and comfort. Beacham's approach is to build the V8 engine, driver train and running gear of the Jaguar XKR sports car into an original E-Type bodyshell.
Firstly, it must be said that the Beacham E-type is very rapid, travelling from 0-60 mph in around six seconds. Plus, it features superb steering and handling because it has been re-engineered from the wheels up. Externally the Beacham looks very familiar, the only real give-aways for the sharp-eyed being the contemporary Jaguar mirrors and door handles; the air scoop under the front bumper; and the bigger tyres and chrome wire wheels. (The latter are genuine, and original, Jaguar factory options.) However, it is beneath the skin and inside the cabin where the most obvious changes are to be found.
The Beacham E-type is crammed full of technology: ABS brakes, traction control, anti-dive suspension geometry and more. Included is a full complement of comfort and safety systems: power-adjustable steering wheel and side mirrors, all with memory function; climate control and electric windows; SRS/airbag systems; and a power-operated convertible roof. In addition there is a premium sound system and GPS, all set into a bespoke polished wood-veneer dashboard. Trimmed in supple new leather, the modern seats have all the power controls from current Jaguars.
A new sub-frame was devised to house the XKR V8 engine and front suspension, and the integration of the mechanical components must be considered a remarkable engineering feat. Underneath, the car is a work of art. The stainless-steel exhaust system is of the highest order, and everywhere there is evidence of the closest attention to detail. But exchanging modern technology for old involves more than fabricating new engine mounts and re-routing exhaust systems. Combining the electronics of modern engines, transmissions, and systems such as airbags and ABS with existing electronics is a startling achievement for a small manufacturer.
Based on a US-market Series 3 V12 2+2 Coupé, the example offered here was completed in 2015 and first registered in the UK on 21st July of that year, since when it has had two owners. Finished in dark blue metallic with tan leather interior, this E-Type has automatic transmission and features power steering, air conditioning, electric folding roof, ABS, electrically operated seats and boot lid, removable hard top, electric windows, trip computer, CD player, and an alarm. Only 1,144 kilometres have been covered from new and the car is presented in commensurately good condition.
VAT, Car Tax and Customs Duty at the standard rates will be payable on this Lot if the car remains in Switzerland.
