The British automaker offers wealthy fans of the timeless E-Type the limited-edition "60 Collection" consisting of six pairs of coupes and roadsters styled to remind everyone of the two original units that made their debut at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show. But there are just twelve of them available, so Jaguar also needed something that’s a little more extensive.
Although Jaguar Classic hasn’t let anything slip about the pricing for the E-Type 60 Collection, we can bet each one bears a heavy tag for the honor of reliving the past with help from a few modern amenities, including the XK-sourced 3.8-liter engine.
No worries, because the automaker has also prepared other goodies, which are slightly less prohibitive, both in terms of pricing and availability. With help from partners like Bremont and The Glenturret distillery, the brand has also introduced a bespoke watch set and an unique whisky.
Luxury aviation-themed British watchmaker Bremont also creates timepieces for Jaguar, so it came up with a chronograph and a rally-timer on this special occasion. Meanwhile, the distillery has blended a highland single malt scotch whisky dedicated to evoking the “unique spirit” of the E-Type.
Remember we said these are only slightly less prohibitive? Well, it’s because both items come in limited amounts. Only 120 Bremont box sets (60 green/60 gray, one for each year and body type of the original launch E-Types) and 265 whisky bottles will be available. The latter number is a direct reference to the horsepower delivered by the E-Types that made the trip to Geneva back in 1961.
Pricing and availability are yet another issue. For starters, the Glenturret beverage is the most affordable at £1,500 ($2,088 at the current exchange rates) a bottle, but it’s only delivered in the United Kingdom. Bremont’s watch box set can be had with free delivery to the UK and Europe, but it’ll set back interested buyers exactly £12,995 ($18,083).
