Revell 07717 1/8 Jaguar E-Type

In the late 1950s Jaguar was one of the most distinguished brands of British cars. They represented tradition, but with high performance and 24-karat polished technology. The last worldwide turning point was reached when, on 15 March 1961 at the Geneva Motor Show, Jaguar exhibited the XK-E, the famous E-Type that would become a legend. The E-Type was a completely new design, apart from the drive unit it inherited from its predecessors, and it generated an absolute infatuation with Jaguar. The streamlined style with its aggressive lines was derived from the ideas of its designer Malcolm Sayer and the company's founder, Sir William Lyons. It radiated sensational modernity, without losing the typical rounded Jaguar shape. This spectacular 265bhp dream car exerted a fascination with its revolutionary looks, which were classy, ​​provocative, a true thoroughbred combined with above-average acceleration and a remarkable top speed of 240km/h.
