Customer Projects

While there is always something interesting going on in the XKs Unlimited restoration and service shop, our customers are engaged in countless projects around the world. See the galleries below for the fruits of their labor.

At the risk of sounding like a Kindergarten teacher, this site is all about sharing. Not only would those of us at XKs Unlimited love to learn more about your projects, but we can easily share your passion with like-minded enthusiasts the world over. Please e-mail photos and captions – and anything else you would like to share — to Michael Marter at michael@xks.com. Don’t worry if your prose isn’t polished as we can easily make it shine.

Wild 2+2 E-Type We’re constantly amazed by our customers’ projects. This E-Type has to be one of the most extensively modified E-Types in history. While it may not be everyone’s cup of tea, you have to admire the craftsmanship, ingenuity and perseverance of the guys turning the wrenches. Click here to see additional photos and learn more about this project.

Lois Knudsen’s E-Type Restoration If this were a Hollywood script, no one would believe it. A young woman has a dream about an E-Type. The car in the dream is real. She purchases the car and with little more than perseverance in her corner, completely restores the dilapidated E-Type by herself. Lois is somewhat of a folk hero here at XKs Unlimited. After reading her story, we think you’ll agree.

12/1/11: We just got a handful of photos from Mr. Gary Lindstrum, from Utah. After completing restoration of his XK-140 DHC he is now showing it with pride. We were glad to have had a helping hand in your project Gary, thanks for the opportunity and the PHOTOS!

A note from Bob Danielson and a copy of an article he wrote for Classic and Sports Car Magazine in 2006. We wish to thank Bob for his kind words.
