Jaguar Classic has reproduced a period correct toolkit for the E-type. The toolkit was originally offered with the Series 1 and 2 E-Types and was last available in 1971.

The toolkit is offered in a leatherette-covered canvas roll and include all items needed to carry out routine maintenance on the car. It includes tools like adjustable spanner, tyre valve key, pliers, tyre pressure gauge, points screwdriver, Feeler gauge, 3-piece screwdriver, 4X spanners, 3X box spanners, a spark plug spanner, 2 tommy bars, a valve timing gauge, grease gun, handbrake adjusting wrench and brake bleed tin and tube.

The toolkit can be purchased online from the Jaguar Land Rover Classic online parts shop (link). It will also be offered to Jaguar E-type Reborn customers – a service where one can buy a fully-restored E-type direct from the carmaker. The manufacturer’s standard aftermarket parts and accessories warranty covers the toolkit.

Jaguar E-Type reborn for 60th anniversary with modern upgrades.





Jaguar's Classic division is marking the 60th anniversary of the seminal E-Type sports car with an ultra-exclusive run of launch-specification restored cars.



The E-Type 60 Collection comprises a pair of restored Series 1 models - a coupe and a convertible - based on the two cars that were used for the E-Type's famous public debut at the 1961 Geneva motor show.





The 3.8-litre straight-six engine remains, for example, but features an uprated cooling system and electronic ignition and sends its 265bhp reserves to the rear axle through a new, bespoke five-speed manual gearbox with a synchromesh on each ratio and helically cut gears for smoother changes.







Subtle touches, however, including a modern Jaguar infotainment system, bespoke badging and a hand-finished route map engraving on the centre console set them out from standard E-Types.





Jaguar Classic has also fitted a stainless-steel exhaust system in place of the original mild-steel item; this gives a “deeper tone” and should last longer.

Just six pairs of restored cars will be sold, with interested parties invited to contact Jaguar Classic directly to place an order.
