Corgi
Corgi 1:43 Jaguar 'E' Type 30th Anniversary Set
Diecast metal with plastic parts The Jaguar E-Type, or the Jaguar XK-E for the North American market, is a British sports car that was manufactured by Jaguar Cars Ltd between 1961 and 1975...
Launched into the Corgi Toys range in 1968, this classic Jaguar sports car was produced in two colour options – red or metallic blue. Both versions came with an opening bonnet, complete with a wonderfully detailed 4.2 litre engine and doors that opened to reveal miniature tilting seats.
The details didn’t end there as Corgi bestowed the model with tiny bonnet-mounted mirrors, a separately moulded exhaust and beautifully modelled spoked wheels. The only controversial feature was the model’s clear plastic ‘bubble’ packaging, which was difficult to open. As a result, very few original packs of this classic Corgi exist in undamaged condition today.
