Airfix Starter Set - Jaguar E-Type Model Kit for Adults & Children 8+

The Jaguar E-Type, a 1960's icon, is the perfect fusion of a powerful sports car and a competitively priced luxury vehicle. This Starter Set depicts the series one model produced between 1961 and 1967. Boasting a top speed of 150MPH, the captivating model derives its racing DNA from the Jaguar D-type, the winner of the Le Mans race.

Offered in a 1:43 scale, the breathtaking Jaguar E-Type Starter Set is the ideal gift for beginners. Enzo Ferrari himself once described the E-Type as the most beautiful car ever made, and it remains as mesmerizing today as it was upon its initial release in 1961.

Based on the Le Mans-winning D-Type, the E-Type combined racing DNA with remarkably competitive pricing and a claimed 150mph top speed, solidifying its status as a 1960's icon. The series one models portrayed in this kit were produced between 1961 and 1967, with two different engine options: a 3.8L and a 4.2L. Over 22,000 E-Types were sold during this period.

Jaguar produced the E-type in various guises, including a 2+2 coupe, the limited edition 'Lightweight E-Type', and the low drag coupe, among many other variants.
