– icon turns 60; 12 units of restored coupé and convertible to be sold as pairsThe iconic Jaguar E-type is celebrating its 60th birthday today . To celebrate occasion, Jaguar Classic has unveiled the first pair of expertly restored E-type coupe and convertible, which is one of just six pairs planned for the 60 Collection series.
Needless to say, the restored cars are finished in similar colours. As a matter of fact, they are finished in exclusive Flat Out Grey and Drop Everything Green colours, both of which will not be used on any other Jaguar. For the coupe, the bottom of the centre console features the words “I thought you’d never get here,” which is the reaction of Jaguar founder Sir William Lyons to Bob’s arrival just minutes before the world reveal. A Smooth Black leather upholstery is used for the coupe, while the convertible gets a nice Suede Green leather trim. For the topless model, the centre console gets the phrase “Drop everything and bring the open top E-type over.
Slight mechanical upgrades have been made as well. The factory 3.8 litre XK inline-six engine has been retained, and all 269 PS gets channeled to the rear wheels through a brand new five-speed manual gearbox with synchromesh for all ratios.
