Celebrating the E-Type
To mark 50 years since the last E-Type came off the production line, we are celebrating this iconic model in style thanks to the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust(JDHT). We will have the very first Series 1 OTS (77 RW) off the production line and the very last Series 3 (HDU 555N) to be built, showcasing the full story from beginning to end.
