CELEBRATING AN ICON
Today, we announce a celebration of an icon: the E-type 60 Collection.
In March 2021, Jaguar will commemorate a unique occasion as the iconic E-type marks its 60th Anniversary. In fitting tribute, Jaguar Classic will create six limited-edition matched pairs of restored 3.8 E-types, paying tribute to two of the most famous examples: ‘9600 HP’ and ‘77 RW’.

E-TYPE 60th EDITION
The E-type 60 Edition certainly enjoys quite the history, feted with commemorative detailing and exclusive Flat Out Grey and Drop Everything Green paint colours. Opportunities to own these exclusive matched pairs are rare. Enquire with our team to find out more.
Both original cars played starring roles in the unveiling of the E-type at its world debut in Geneva in 1961. An Opalescent Gunmetal Grey 3.8-litre Fixed-Head Coupe registered ‘9600 HP’ was driven ‘flat out’ to Switzerland from Coventry the night before the launch. Public relations manager Bob Berry arrived with minutes to spare for demonstration drives. And the rest was history. Drawing an adoring reaction, Sir William Lyons instructed legendary Jaguar Test and Development Engineer Norman Dewis to ‘drop everything’ and drive a British Racing Green 3.8-litre roadster registered ‘77 RW’ overnight from Coventry to Geneva to support an overwhelming demand for drives.
