2021 Jaguar Heritage 60 F-Type Coupé - 32 Miles

Launched in December 2019, the new F-Type R – which formed the basis of the new F-Type Heritage 60 Edition – was exclusively all-wheel drive and featured revised dampers, anti-roll bars and rear suspension knuckles for heightened driver engagement. Motivation was provided by Jaguar’s supercharged 5-litre V8 producing 575bhp and 700Nm of torque, offering 0-60mph in just 3.5 seconds and an electronically limited 186mph.

The F-Type also provided a suite of advanced driver-focused technologies, including a reconfigurable high-definition 12.3" TFT instrument cluster, Touch Pro Infotainment system and Smartphone Pack with Apple CarPlay® as standard. Each Heritage 60 Edition was built at Jaguar’s Castle Bromwich plant in the UK and finished by the SV Bespoke team at Jaguar Special Vehicle Operations in Warwickshire.

To understand the ethos of the new car we quote from Jaguar's advance publicity:

'Celebrating 60 years of the iconic Jaguar E-Type is the perfect moment to create our first-ever SV Bespoke limited edition – and the rarest F-Type, with just 60 cars available globally. 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. It’s testament to Jaguar’s sports car design lineage that the 1960s Sherwood Green colour looks as though it was designed for today’s F-Type.'

Commercial Director, Jaguar SV Bespoke - Mark Turner

• Iconic predecessor: Jaguar will celebrate the diamond anniversary of the legendary E-Type in March 2021 with distinctive new F-Type Heritage 60 Edition from SV Bespoke
• 1960s-inspired: Limited edition based on 575PS all-wheel drive F-Type R, has solid Sherwood Green paint from E-Type palette which Jaguar hasn’t offered since the 1960s
• Limited availability: 60 hand-finished cars available worldwide, in either Convertible or Coupé body styles, featuring exclusive heritage-inspired Gloss Black and Chrome accents and Diamond Turned Gloss Black 20" forged alloy wheels
• Bespoke interior: Heritage 60 Edition also includes specially curated interior materials and features including bespoke duo-tone Caraway and Ebony Windsor leather, E-Type-inspired aluminium console finisher and SV Bespoke commissioning plaque

'The F-Type Heritage 60 Edition is a fantastic example of what the SV Bespoke team is capable of. Marrying E-Type inspired detailing with new F-Type gave us an opportunity to immerse ourselves in the heritage of Jaguar's legendary sports cars. With unrivalled 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.'

Director of Vehicle Personalisation, Jaguar Special Vehicle Operations - Clare Hansen.

The car presented here is one of those 60 examples and has covered just 32 miles so, is effectively, a 'new car'. Achingly tasteful with real presence, the SVO designers have created one of coolest modern Jaguars ever, a true ode to the celebrated E-Type. Acquired by our car-enthusiast vendor via Lancaster Jaguar of Sevenoaks to form part of his Collection, it has never been used in anger and remains in a classic state of collector inanimation.

Ready for its new custodian, this is a real opportunity to acquire a true modern classic, with lineage right back to the E-Type, at what is a tempting guide price. Iconic Auctioneers now just need to offer a Sherwood Green E-Type to go with it!
