caption_attribution_description: 1972 Guyson E12 (rebodied Jaguar E-type)
context_page_description: The Guyson E12 was a run of two cars commissioned by hill-climb champion Jim Thomson and built by William Towns.
  It was a rebodied series III Jaguar E-Type, the first of which came about as a result of Thomson crashing his Jaguar in 1972. The first model was completed for Thomson in 1974, with Towns subsequently converting his own E-Type. Towns reportedly had planned to offer the conversion commercially for around £2000 on top of the E-type’s £3300 list price but decided against it, as the E-Type was nearing the end of its production run.
