The storied Jaguar E-Type, a cornerstone of British automotive heritage, has recently been immortalized through two exclusive creations from Jaguar Classic. These bespoke Series I E-Type Commemorative models pay homage to the final 50 Commemorative Editions produced in 1974.
Each car, meticulously handcrafted over 2,000 hours, embodies the elegance and performance that defined the original E-Type. Finished in the classic colors of Signet Green and Opal Black, these drophead coupes blend vintage charm with modern enhancements.
These limited edition masterpieces not only celebrate the E-Type’s legacy but also showcase Jaguar Classic’s unparalleled expertise in restoring and reimagining iconic vehicles.
While these two commemorative models are privately owned, they serve as a testament to the enduring appeal of the E-Type and the dedication of the Jaguar Classic to preserving automotive history. The E-type Commemorative, a testament to Jaguar’s rich heritage, is a refined interpretation of a timeless classic.
Drawing inspiration from the original E-type, Jaguar’s Classic team has subtly enhanced both its aesthetics and engineering. The interior showcases an anodized aluminum center console, adorned with an early Series I E-type blueprint from the New York Museum of Modern Art. To raise the luxury, Deakin & Francis, England’s oldest jeweler, has contributed mother of pearl, hallmarked solid silver, and 18-carat gold details.
The instrument panel switches are finished in knurled silver, and even the key cover is adorned with silver, matching the exquisite interior accents. Under the hood, the legendary 3.8-liter engine, now equipped with electronic fuel injection and a Jaguar Classic five-speed manual gearbox, offers a blend of classic performance and modern convenience.
The addition of a Jaguar Classic Bluetooth radio and a heated windscreen further enhances the driving experience, seamlessly merging the past and the present. The E-type Commemorative is a celebration of the E-type’s legacy, showcasing Jaguar’s commitment to craftsmanship and innovation. It is a unique and exclusive vehicle that will be cherished by collectors and enthusiasts alike.
