Last summer, Jaguar announced a special tribute edition of the E-Type to celebrate the sports car’s 60th birthday. Fast-forward to today and they have showcased the first two fully-restored cars.
Offered exclusively in six matching pairs each consisting of one coupe and one roadster, the Jaguar E-Type 60 Collection celebrates the ‘9600 HP’ coupe driven by Bob Berry from Coventry, UK, to the 1961 Geneva Motor Show for its world debut on March 15, and the ’77 RW’ roadster, brought to the event for test drives the next day by Norman Dewis.
The coupes are finished in Flat Out Grey on top of a Smooth Black leather interior, whereas the roadsters come in Drop Everything Green with a Suede Green leather cockpit. The shades were inspired by the 1961 colors and they won’t be used by Jaguar ever again.
