Description

Product Description:
The Jaguar E-Type 3.8 FHC Starter Kit from Heller (ref. 56709) is a complete 1/24 scale set for building an accurate replica of one of the most iconic British sports cars of the 1960s. Designed for both model-building enthusiasts and classic car lovers, this kit includes everything needed for assembly and painting.

Historical Background:
Unveiled at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type became an instant icon of design and performance. The 3.8 FHC (Fixed Head Coupé) version combined elegance and speed, featuring an aerodynamic body designed by Malcolm Sayer and a 3.8-liter inline-six engine producing 265 horsepower.
With a top speed of 240 km/h, the E-Type rivaled the best Italian sports cars of its era, but at a much more affordable price, fueling its commercial success. Beyond its performance, Enzo Ferrari himself called it “the most beautiful car ever made.”
Today, it remains a benchmark in automotive design and a centerpiece of classic car collections.
