![]() Today's car of the day is Majorette's 2000 Jaguar S-Type. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: Jaguar S-Type ![]() ![]() The Jaguar S-Type was a popular car for toy makers when it first debuted, as a uniquely styled Jaguar with design cues from older models. Off the top of my head, I think of six toy makers who replicated the S-Type in small scale: High Speed (aka: Schuco & Malibu), Welly, Hongwell, Majorette, Siku and Realtoy. From what I recall seeing locally, the car's prestige and buzz-worthiness quickly faded away. I wonder what prompted Majorette to make the front bumper plastic, and once done, not attempt to match the plastic to the body color for any of the releases. At least Majorette gave it a bouncy suspension and opening doors, for play value. ![]()

I wanted one of these went they first came out...something about the "retro" design really appealed to me. But like many real cars that I like, I had to satisfy my wants with the little toys ones such as this beauty from Majorette. Like the overall look - bouncing suspension and opening doors add to the play value of cruising around in a Jag.

Drive it like you stole it!

The opening doors are down a bit on the crude side. For some reason to my eye that door makes the model looked humped in the middle. Just looks funny like its arched up.. But as always I have appreciation for all the models presented as COD. Thanks for sharing it. |

The 1:1 was actually a good looking sedan. |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
This is so they can release it in another color and not have to paint the bumper part to match. |
