The Jaguar Classic E-Type ZP Collection is a unique restoration project by Jaguar Classic that pays tribute to the iconic E-Type sports cars that achieved significant racing victories in the 1960s. The collection consists of fourteen faithful recreations of the E-Types driven by Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori, two legendary racing drivers. The cars are sold as pairs and feature commemorative details and updated interiors.
Collection
The first pair in the collection includes the Oulton Blue drophead coupe inspired by the ECD 100 driven by Graham Hill. It features a quote from Hill himself, etched into the centre console, which reads, “In a race, my car becomes part of me, and I become part of it.” The interior is adorned in red and showcases the Oulton Park circuit. The second car in this pair is the Crystal Grey fixed-head, inspired by the car driven by Roy Salvadori. It features the Crystal Palace circuit embossed in the centre console and is named “King of the Airfields.” The interior is blue.
Cars
Both cars in the collection are based on the 265 HP 3.8L Series 1 E-Type models and include half a laurel wreath to symbolize the car’s racing history and victories. In addition to the vehicles, Jaguar Classic has announced two Everoak helmets, created by Bill Vero and inspired by the racers.
Only seven pairs of the Jaguar Classic E-Type ZP Collection will be available, requiring 2,000 hours of expert craftsmanship. Those interested in acquiring these unique restoration models can find more information on Jaguar’s website through email sign-up.
