Edd China returns with E-type resto

Edd China will return to our screens with a new series following the restoration of an E-type - and he needs YOUR help. The former Wheeler Dealers star new show will be called Built by Many and follow the progress of the 1968 Series 1 fixed-head coupe.

Along with friend and co-presenter Al Cox, Edd will work with the audience to rebuild the car and the series will run in ‘real time’ with production of a range of ‘how to’ videos – all taking place under the watchful eye of Jaguar authority Philip Porter.

Viewers will be encouraged to roll up their sleeves and help work on the car. There will be regular YouTube updates, there will lots of tie-ins like an E-type restoration book, and monthly updates in the E-type Club magazine and Practical Classics.

Edd said, ‘We want to celebrate our automotive heritage by keeping classics cars on the road. Not just housed in museum collections or rusting away at the back of a shed! I’m all for the preservation of historic vehicles and want to get this beauty back on the road for all to enjoy. I’m looking forward to being a grease junkie again and inspiring others to join me on this road trip.’
