Ecurie Ecosse (Team Scotland), one of the world’s best known private motor racing teams was founded in Edinburgh in November 1951 by the late David Murray and today continues under the present “Patron”, Hugh McCaig. 

Hugh McCaig has been involved in motor racing for the past twenty five years but was a motor racing enthusiast during his school days at Fettes College in Edinburgh. As head of the motoring club in the school he wrote a letter to David Murray of Ecurie Ecosse and asked if Murray would be prepared to bring the famous Ecosse transporter and cars. To his surprise Murray agreed and the sparkling dark blue D-type was unloaded from the Ecurie Ecosse transporter.

From then on Hugh McCaig followed the progress of Ecurie Ecosse. When the team was disbanded in 1972 Hugh little knew that around ten years later he would be able to reform the team and take the famous name on to greater success.

Since 1982, the team have become World Champions in Group C2 World Sports Car Championship, have been involved in the development and running of the factory Aston Martin AMR1 team. They have won the British Touring Car Championship for Vauxhall and have helped support some of Scotland’s most successful modern racing drivers including Allan McNish, David Coulthard, David Leslie, John Cleland and 2007 Indianapolis 500 winner Dario Franchitti.

So Ecurie Ecosse have been instrumental in the development of motor racing for the past fifty five years, not only in Scotland but in Britain as a whole. In early 2021 the company announced their new project, the LM-C, a heritage sports car paying homage to the successful 50s racers including the race-winning Jaguar C-Type. 

Evolution E-Types was established by engineer Uryk Dmyterko from his long-held desire to build the best E-Type ever. It all started with a commission to fully restore a Series 1 E-Type roadster to concours standard. Unable to source certain parts he decided to make them himself and the rest, as they say, is history.

However, this isn’t just another Jaguar E-Type restoration company, as Uryk Dmyterko is already recognised as a leading supplier of new E-Type parts such as their high strength chassis frames, solid billet machined aluminium cam covers and their most recent development, an aluminium 5-speed gearbox.

Now the world’s leading E-Type parts supplier has taken a big step forward to create a brand new range of Jaguar E-type models with modern day comforts, handling and engineering developments. They offer customers all the sixties style, look and feel of this iconic car, but with contemporary handling, reliability and comfort, a recipe that is increasingly popular amongst car enthusiasts looking for classic style without the headaches.

Uryk leads a team of highly skilled and experienced craftsmen who are producing these exquisite machines from a large workshop complex comprising CNC machining, engine and bodywork shops, spray booth, upholstery and mechanical engineering departments. The company is based in Darlington, Co. Durham.
