.4.2 LITRE JAGUAR

'E' TYPE

2+2

Jaguar 4.2 E type 2+2, opening doors, bonnet and rear hatch, tipping front seats, moving rear seat. Classic, splendid, beautiful - what else? The best looking car ever made in Britain modelled by the best die-cast toymaker at the peak of their powers - this is the very best of the Jaguar marque and the toy maker too. Corgi added it to the range in 1968 and replaced it with a simplified item having fewer features and Whizzwheels in 1970. The car is found in red or metallic blue and both seem to be valued in the same range. There is an orange version listed with a black roof which is significantly higher in value. I've never managed to come across one of these.

I'm sorry the blue one is so bashed-up, maybe I'll find a better one at a price I'm prepared to pay one day. These are really beautiful objects and I'm proud to own them.
