KISSIMMEE, Fla., April 23,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ECD Auto Design (NASDAQ: ECDA),
the world's largest Land Rover and Jaguar restoration company known
for its custom luxury builds, including bespoke Defenders, Range
Rovers and E-Types, introduces its newest one of a kind build,
Project Scottsdale Commission. The Jaquar E-Type will find its new
home in sunny Arizona.
"This is a prime example of how we made a
significant investment based on a client's request,"
Built on a Series III Model and highly customized with ECD's
second generation EV 300 HP powertrain and gorgeous accents, this
roadster will be turning heads for years to come.
Project Scottsdale Commission
is the fourth custom build for this ECD Auto Design client as well
as their second ECD EV vehicle. This was the first ECD Jaguar
E-Type to be contracted and was the project that brought ECD into
the sports car production market. ECD has not looked back
since.
"We love to listen to our clients and build relationships with
them, and this is a prime example of how we made a significant
investment and change to our business structure based on a client's
request," said Scott Wallace, CEO of
ECD Auto Design. "Every vehicle has always been completely bespoke,
and it was just time to evolve into the sports car market. We were
thrilled to be able to do so while making a valued repeat client's
dream come true."
The striking exterior is coated with a Jaguar E-Type black paint
accented with plenty of chrome from its door handles to its premium
Borrani wire wheels. The oversized Michelin white wall tires
absolutely pop driving down the street.
Stepping inside this beauty, the accents are stunning as the
chrome from the exterior moves its way inside onto the handles,
trim and window cranks. The classic E-Type seats are heated and
wrapped in high quality Spinneybeck antique red and distressed
black leather. The premium Nardi classic wood steering wheel is
ready to be gripped as Project Scottsdale Commission cruises down
the Arizona streets.
Electronic upgrades include touchscreen user interface
infotainment system coupled with JL audio speakers and subwoofer.
The car also includes Bluetooth audio, USB chargers, cameras, Apple
Carplay, Android Connect, cruise control, regenerative braking, DC
fast charging, full LED lighting and automatic headlights.
For those that would like to dream from the comfort of their own
home, ECD has recently launched a new state of the art vehicle
configurator where users can design their dream vehicle from any
computer, tablet, or phone. This is just another step in our
forward-thinking process as we continue to deliver industry-leading
solutions. Check out our new vehicle configurator here.
