Ryton‑on‑Dunsmore, UK – 5 November 2019: Jaguar Classic is reintroducing the original
Jaguar E‑type toolkit, making it available for the first time in nearly 50 years.
The owner’s toolkit was originally offered with Series 1 and Series 2 E‑types and hasn’t been available since the final Series 2 was produced in 1971. Complete original toolkits are highly collectible rarities, fetching as much as £5,000.
Now, thanks to their unique access to engineering records, Jaguar Classic’s Genuine Parts experts have reproduced the toolkit to authentic specifications. The Jaguar branded tools come in a period‑correct leatherette‑covered canvas roll, and feature all items needed to carry out routine maintenance on the iconic sports car. The reproduction toolkit is priced from £732 in the UK.
The original E‑type toolkit has become a collector’s item thanks to its rarity and historic appeal. We’ve had customers across the world contact us about obtaining one, which is why we decided to manufacture the toolkits again to their original specification. It’s the perfect finishing touch for E‑type aficionados.
