Few cars have earned a place in history quite like the Jaguar E-Type. Revered for its beauty, performance, and innovation, the E-Type remains one of the most iconic vehicles to ever roll off a British production line. At Fraze Productions, we celebrate timeless classics like the Jaguar E-Type not only through admiration but through our exclusive Jaguar E-Type-inspired clothing collection – perfect for every classic car enthusiast.
The Birth of a Legend
Unveiled at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type stunned the world. With its long bonnet, curvaceous body, and top speed of 150 mph, it was a revelation – and incredibly affordable compared to rivals with similar performance. Enzo Ferrari famously called it “the most beautiful car ever made.” That’s high praise from a man who knew a thing or two about design.
The E-Type was the brainchild of aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer, and its sleek design was influenced by his work on aircraft. The car’s success on the racetrack helped build Jaguar’s reputation in the 1960s, and it quickly became a symbol of sophistication, speed, and British style.
At Fraze Productions, we channel this legacy into our classic Jaguar E-Type T-shirts and apparel, designed to keep the spirit of the Swinging Sixties alive in your wardrobe.
Engineering Brilliance
Under the hood, the E-Type featured a 3.8-litre inline-six engine (later upgraded to 4.2L), independent rear suspension, and disc brakes all around – a rarity at the time. Its monocoque construction and aerodynamic shape gave it handling that was as cutting-edge as its looks.
Whether you own one, dream of driving one, or just admire the legacy, our Jaguar E-Type hoodies and vintage-inspired designs let you wear your passion proudly.
A Car of the Stars
The Jaguar E-Type wasn’t just a hit with gearheads – it became a cultural phenomenon. Celebrities like Steve McQueen, George Harrison, and Brigitte Bardot all had one in their garage. It’s the kind of car that turned heads and made statements, and even today, it draws crowds at every classic car meet.

How Much Is a Jaguar E-Type Worth?
The value of a Jaguar E-Type can vary dramatically depending on the model, condition, and originality. Early Series 1 models – especially those with covered headlights and a flat floor – are the most sought-after by collectors and can fetch anywhere from £100,000 to over £300,000 at auction. Later Series 2 and Series 3 models tend to be more affordable, with prices starting around £50,000, though well-preserved V12 models can still command six figures.
With classic car values rising and the E-Type’s status as a design icon firmly cemented, it’s no surprise that these cars are considered a sound investment. Can’t quite stretch to owning one? Our Jaguar E-Type clothing lets you wear the legacy without the price tag.
Enduring Legacy
Production of the E-Type continued until 1975, but its spirit lives on in modern Jaguar models like the F-Type, which owes much of its design DNA to this classic. Today, the E-Type is a collector’s dream – a reminder of a golden era of motoring.
Just like the car itself, our Jaguar E-Type clothing range is all about timeless style and quality. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to the world of classic cars, Fraze Productions has something for you.
