![]() The car for today is the 1961 Jaguar E-Type Coupe by Matchbox. ![]()

![]() Check out Wikipedia.com to learn more on the Jaguar E-Type. ![]() MB released this copy in 2007 a year after its initial debut in the Superfast line. Scaled a bit on the larger side @ 1/61, it offers a nice take on English sports cars of the early 60s.

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
I love the MB E-Type. One of the best under a dollar castings they have. PS, I love all E-types, so they couldn't lose with me. |

I really like this one. I have an all-red version. Perhaps someday I'll create a diorama based on Jan & Dean's Dead Man's Curve |

I love the Matchbox Jaguar E-Type! I have this version too, and it sits in one of my showcases. I thought I had a lot more than this version, but I've been short on finding other E-Type models I knew I once had. I can't wait until Monday when John shows what it will look like in the 60th Anniversary Line! |

This looks really nice. Just needs some headlights. The tampo machine was already right there, putting the stripe down the front. Oh well....that's why Sharpies were invented. |
