Rare 1/8 Scale 1961 Jaguar XK-E, E-Type, Coupe model kit by Monogram. This is the desirable classic 1961 Series 1 design that has a length over 21 inches if fully assembled!

This beautiful realistic molded reproduction comes from the factory with red, silver, and black plated parts tha...t are bright and glossy. The soft vinyl tires come with exquisite detail including raised sidewall lettering and defined tread patterns. Tires mount on shiny chrome spoke wheels that include classic knockoff centerpieces. The steering wheel comes functional and steers wheels left to right. The doors will open to reveal a highly detailed interior which includes an instrument panel, center console, shift lever, and hand brake. The hood raises to display the historical 6-cylinder XK racing engine, wiring harnesses, plumb work, suspension, and steering assemblies. Included in the kit is the original instruction manual and added accessories. The original manufacturer's box does have some wear due to age. However, box is still in fair condition with only a few minor defects/markings. Box only opened for inspection purposes. Kit comes complete with original instruction manual.
