About the Jaguar E-Type Roadster Series III V12 Red AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Jaguar E-Type Series III V12 roadster comes in red with opening bonnet and doors. It is a used example, box showing traces of storage. The final and most powerful E-Type generation, capturing the long-bonnet shape that defined 1960s and 1970s British sports cars.

By 1971 the E-Type had grown into its Series III form, gaining a V12 engine and a wider, more muscular stance without losing the long-bonnet proportions that made the original famous a decade earlier.

Construction Detail on the AUTOart E-Type V12

The diecast body holds the E-Type's signature long bonnet and low waistline as a single confident sweep, with zinc alloy giving the open-top roadster enough weight to feel substantial despite its slender profile. Opening doors and bonnet reveal the V12 powerplant that distinguished this final series from earlier six-cylinder cars, a mechanical detail collectors of the marque specifically look for. Panel gaps sit a little wider than a sealed casting would allow, the usual consequence of building genuine access into a diecast body. This is a used piece, and the packaging carries traces of storage rather than new-condition presentation; the red paintwork and chrome trim on the casting itself are what should be inspected on arrival.

The V12's Place in E-Type History

The Series III V12 represented Jaguar's response to rising competition from Italian V12 rivals, trading some of the original's delicacy for genuine grand touring power. It remains the version most associated with effortless long-distance cruising rather than outright sports car agility.

Where This E-Type Fits a British Sports Car Shelf

Set beside earlier Series I E-Types, this V12 roadster shows the model's stylistic evolution across more than a decade. Its open cockpit and red paintwork give strong shelf presence, and the opening bonnet is worth showing off given the V12's distinctive presence under it.
