Jaguar has unveiled two exclusive E-Type Commemorative models, marking 50 years since the iconic sports car ceased production in 1974. These bespoke commissions, created for a Southeast Asian collector, honor the legacy of the E-Type while incorporating contemporary craftsmanship and luxury.
Each of the drophead coupes is a one-of-one masterpiece, finished in unique color schemes: Signet Green and Opal Black, updates of the original 1974 palettes. Inside, they feature hand-stitched Bridge of Weir leather seats in a striking black and tan woven design — a first for Jaguar Classic.
Notably, Jaguar Classic partnered with renowned jeweler Deakin & Francis, who adorned the cars with mother of pearl, sterling silver and 18ct gold. The front grille showcases a silver badge with an 18ct gold Growler icon, while the steering wheel and gear knob are similarly decorated with exquisite materials.
Under the hood, the cars are powered by a 3.8L engine with electronic fuel injection and a five-speed manual gearbox, offering a blend of classic driving engagement and modern usability. Modern touches like a discreet Bluetooth radio and heated windshield enhance the driving experience without compromising the cars’ vintage character.
