Jaguar marks the 60th anniversary of the E-Type sports car in 2021 with the introduction of a limited-edition F-Type Heritage 60 Edition.

Only 60 of the all-wheel-drive sports cars, which are based on the supercharged, 575-hp F-Type R, will be available for sale worldwide. Each is hand-finished by the SV Bespoke personalization team in Warwickshire, U.K.

“We’ve worked closely with Jaguar Design to develop a theme for the F-Type Heritage 60 Edition that pays homage to the E-Type in a contemporary way,” Mark Turner, commercial director-Jaguar SV Bespoke, says in a news release.

“It’s testament to Jaguar’s sports car design lineage that the 1960s Sherwood Green color looks as though it was designed for today’s F-Type.”

The rich green paintwork is an original E-Type color not offered on a new Jaguar since the 1960s, and the interior features model-exclusive Caraway and Ebony Windsor leather.

The F-Type Heritage 60 Edition also features a unique aluminum console finish inspired by the E-Type’s rearview mirror casing; an E-Type 60th anniversary logo embossed on the headrests; and E-Type 60 badging shared with the limited-edition E-Type 60 Collection vehicles announced by Jaguar Classic earlier this year.

The F-Type Heritage 60 Edition is available as a coupe or convertible with gloss black 20-in. forged alloy wheels, gloss black and chrome exterior accents and black brake calipers.

“The F-Type Heritage 60 Edition is a fantastic example of what the SV Bespoke team is capable of,” says Clare Hansen, director-vehicle personalization, Jaguar Special Vehicle Operations. “With unrivaled access to original drawings, paint codes and reference materials, working hand-in-hand with our colleagues at Jaguar Classic, we’ve created a distinctive and highly collectible interpretation of the definitive Jaguar sports car.”

Pricing for the F-Type Heritage 60 Edition in the U.S. will be announced later.
