These sets have been designed for the beginner in mind. They have slightly less parts that the standard version and are a less challenging build.

Complete with poly cement, brush and three acrylic paints.

Once described by Enzo Ferrari as the most beautiful car ever made, the E-Type is as breath-taking now as it was when first released in 1961. Based on Jaguar's Le Mans winning D-Type, the E-Type had racing DNA combined with extremely competitive pricing and a claimed 150mph top speed. This led to it quickly becoming a 1960's icon.

The earliest cars or series one as they have become known, portrayed by this kit, were produced between 1961 and 1967 with two different engines: a 3.8L and 4.2L. Over 22,000 E-Types were sold. Jaguar produced the E-Type in various guises including a 2+2 coupe, the limited edition 'Lightweight E-Type' and the low drag coupe along with many other variants.
