PICs - From My Collection: Jaguar E-Type
AutoART's Jaguar E-Type Series 1 3.8 Coupe
This was the prize I chose for the recent photo contest here on this site. Thanks.

Very nice John, I didn't know AA made it in white.

My son and I restored one exactly like that same color

Great model except for the finish of the inside of the rear door
Why didn't AUTOart line it correctly? Extraordinary omission for AUTOart, who seem to thrive on detail just to pay it no attention whatsoever.

By "lining", do you mean weatherstripping?
Not knowing much about this car, I would expect some black rubber strips around the door for a water seal.

(PIC) Rich, here is the inside of an E Type rear door

The AUTOart model is just painted red and not upholstered like the 1:1

This lack of attention to detail detracts dramatically from the overall substance of the model. It's too big an omission and very surprising for AUTOart.

I see. It looks like early Bburago in fidelity.

Love these XKEs.

Enzo Ferrari called the XK-E the world's most beautiful automobile.
