E-Type models.

FOTO / GRAFIK

  A little riddle ...
    Anybody out there who has ever seen this one ?
Let me know ... ;-)
My own collection.
But there are many more...
A very special collection.
Back to collector's items.
Back to The E-Site.

Click on the hyperlinks in each line to get the pictures. Some models have only one picture, others two or more. There are still a few models without pictures; so please come back later for more. Also this web page is not 100 % complete (maybe never ...)
Some scans are taken from paper prints, others are scans from the orginal model. Just put them on your flat-bed scanner ;-)

And have a look at Gary Oxley's site of Jaguar Model Club - it's worth a visit!

Of course you're welcome to come back for updates. And don't forget to e-mail your comments, corrections and pics ...

Any net source about E-Type / 2+2 / Jaguar models?

No. But Phillip Porter's "Jaguar E-Type The Definitive History" has two chapters devoted to models. One is a photo essay about his own collection. The other is an attempt at a comprehensive list, but many of the ones above are not listed.
