The royal wedding car driven away from Windsor was Jaguar Classic’s electric ‘E-type Zero‘
The E-type Zero is based on a 1968 Series E-type, which at some point in its life had been fitted with an American V8 engine.
The E-type sports car, which Ferrari founder Enzo Ferrari famously called “the most beautiful car in the world”, was originally manufactured in 1968 and has since been converted to electric power, complete with LED head lamps.
