Product in Depth
From the moment it was first unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1961, it was obvious that the E-type was destined to be one of the all-time great cars. For a start, it looked like nothing else, with a style and shape that led no less an authority than rival manufacturer Enzo Ferrari to declare it the most beautiful car in the world.
Your model is a 1:8-scale replica of a 1963 Series 1, which included refinements to the launch car. Making this highly detailed model is a tribute to the expert engineers who created the original E-type. The cars were virtually hand-built in Browns Lane, Coventry, utilising many parts built in-house. Influenced by racing experience, the E-type’s designers employed cutting-edge technology rarely seen on road cars at the time – including fully independent suspension and disc brakes – while Malcolm Sayer designed the car’s aerodynamic body shell using experience from the aviation industry, giving the Jaguar E-type its distinctive lines.
