Jaguar's just unveiled two new E-Types 50 years after the end of production. The roadsters were built by the marque's Classic division.

The two E-Type Commemoratives, as the new cars are being called, were commissioned by an unnamed collector described as a “loyal, discerning client in Southeast Asia.” The vehicles were hand-built by the marque’s Classics team and aren’t restoration jobs. Instead, they’re new “Works Bespoke” builds based on one of the final Series III E-Types, the 1-of-50 Commemorative Edition, from 1974, but which features several nods to earlier iterations of the sports car .
The cars are also adorned with unique jewel details from Deakin & Francis, England’s oldest manufacturing jeweler. The nose of the vehicle features a badge finished in silver with guilloche mother of pearl and an 18-karat gold Jaguar logo. A similar badge can be found on the center of the steering wheel and on top of the gear shifter.Under the hood of the E-Type Commemorative, you’ll find a 3.8-liter inline-six.
Jaguar isn’t saying how much the pair of E-Type Commemoratives cost, but we’d be willing to bet their owner paid quite a bit. That’s because these represent the first new E-Types built since 1974. TheBryan Hood is a digital staff writer at Robb Report.
