Latest Jaguar F-TYPE gets warm home and looks tasty!
Historically sound color scheme
The latest Jaguar F-TYPE is a Convertible with a 5.0-liter V8. The sports car has a “historic” livery in the color Giola Green combined with a black roof and an interior in Tan Windsor leather. The same color combination as the last Jaguar E-type 5.3-liter V12 Series III Convertible built on June 12, 1974, registered as HDU 555N.
Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust
Jaguar is turning over the special F-TYPE to Jaguar’s history keepers: the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust (JDHT). There, the model joins its illustrious predecessor (E-type) in the official Jaguar Heritage collection. Also, the copy is participating in a series of events and activities this year.
On to electric Jaguars
After the Jaguar E-type went out of production, a new promising era began with the radical Jaguar XJ-S. The production end of the F-TYPE also marks the start of a new era for Jaguar. The brand is preparing a bold transformation, spearheaded by an all-electric four-door GT that is in no way comparable to other cars. The unveiling of this model will take place during 2025.
Jaguar F-TYPE: since 2013
First introduced as a Convertible in 2013, the Jaguar F-TYPE was Jaguar’s first two-seat sports car in nearly forty years. The following year, the coupe debuted. A total of 87,731 units of the F-TYPE were produced. Jaguar advises customers still interested in a new F-TYPE to contact a retailer soon to discuss options. The sports car will remain available through retailers on a limited basis until early 2025.
What about the E-type?
JDHT records show that Jaguar produced 72,528 units of the E-type, ending with a special run of fifty cars. All but one were painted in black, while the second-to-last car was in British Racing Green and was delivered to a private Jaguar collector. Both the very last E-type and F-TYPE are on display at the JDHT in Gaydon, as are the very last XE, XF and XF Sportbrake that rolled off the assembly line recently.
